P-323 / Step for Pearson 323

« on: June 30, 2016, 04:31:22 am »

I recently purchased my Pearson 323 hull 98. The step plate was almost totally corroded away. I had a stainless steel step fabricated and had to cut 4 inches off the mast as the bottom was corroded. The step was built up 4" to compensate.  I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem? I am thinking of putting in a small bilge pump at the base of the mast to move standing water away from the step plate. The sink and shower drain into this compartment. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
