Does anyone know of a replacement kit like the one here for the Catalina. http://www.catalinadirect.com/index....roduct_ID=1882

I didn't like the way mine was seated when I 1st got it...I cut a piece of 1" starboard about 9" long and 2" wide, matched & drilled the two holes, sealed it and torqued it all down w/out spending a dime...you could hang the boat from it...
