Re: Stus-List Worn stanchion base sockets
A one inch diameter stanchion has a circumference of about three inches (pi x d). I notched the open ends 1/8 inch or so, about half way up, something like this: ___ |_ _| |_| so when the plastic is bent around and inserted into the socket, there's an open notch at the bottom where the ends meet. I lined up the notch with the set-screw hole in the base. As I inserted the stanchion into the sleeved base, I tried to twist equally in both directions to keep the notch lined up. The dish detergent helps here. I also had multiple holes in the stanchions for set screws, but only one lined up vertically with the hole in the base. Go figure. Some set screws had been forced, cross-threading the screw. For those, I chased the hole with 10-24 tap and replaced the screw.

Re: Stus-List Worn stanchion base sockets
Silly question which is Height and width I assume 1 7/8 H , tall but the 3 “ would wrap several time around and hope do you then notch for set screw?

Re: Stus-List Worn stanchion base sockets
FWIW my stanchions come off in the fall to put the winter cover on and when I was putting them back on I noticed there were two holes for the set screw and a big dollop of what seemed like the sealant they used to seal the hull and deck, in the bases. I pulled out the sealant and the stanchions would sink a little deeper in the base and the set screw now goes into the upper hole. The stanchions are much more solid in the bases but oddly the life lines are much tighter now. It's almost like they raised the stanchions a centimeter or so to make the life lines fit better.
