[Rhodes22-list] Pass through transom and wider steps

[Ron Singerman]

Rob,

All you need is 2 L angles and one T.  I got these from WM at Defender 
prices with the price match policy.  The hardware on the transom I got from 
Stan but I think a regular stanchion mount would do the same. I wanted both 
the verticals to be in the same plane and as far aft of the traveller as 
possible.  The horizontal ss tubing is the piece that was cut out and the 
vertical piece I got at a local welding shop.The trickiest part was 
maintaining the integrity of the electric wires to the stern light.  The use 
of a long needle nose plier or hemostat works great The stair plates are 
3/4" Starboard slightly hollowed out on the underside for the original ss 
step and fastened with 3/4" ss # 10/32 screws.  I tapped the ss steps to 
accept the screws. Touch base off line and I can give you my phone # if you 
have any other questions.  I'll be in FL in the fall.  If you come down to 
visit your FL buddy again we can go sailing and you can check out Serenity.
