Hello everybody. Whilst on my boat this week I had a bow rail stanchion separate from the base. It looks to me like it's been repaired once before but I can't tell for sure. If it was repaired it was a pretty clean job.
At any rate, is there a generally accepted way to repair this with some level of confidence it will hold (outside of welding)? I’m not worried about water intrusion since the base is still attached to the hull, in-tact and still fully screwed. It’s the vertical stanchion post that has broken free right at the bottom. I can see myself doing a real crack job with some JB Weld but thought I’d come here first to see if there are any better ideas.
Thank you!
