[Alberg30] Table in cockpit

[Mike Lehman]

We used the cockpit table described below for years and it works great. It 
gives you a good size table in the cockpit [for eating crabs] and rotates so 
you can manuver around it when you need to. I know a lot of folks don't like 
the original teak table because of its size and weight and have converted to 
a folding cockpit table, We've tried that as well but have reverted back to 
the original one. For those of you interested in the original table with the 
"L" shaped aluminum leg, I'll bet you could find one for sale within the 
club. The mounting plate as Mike describes below can be made by any shop 
that welds aluminum.

done   >this?

I've got a rig on Checkmate that works great. It's about a 12" section of
aluminum pipe(sized to slide over the table leg) welded to a round aluminum

plate the same size as the inspection plate in the cockpit. drill and tap
inspection plate to the same size of all thread you are about to need
(1/4-5/16"?), drill hole slighty oversize in center of new aluminum plate, 
Use

length of all thread with a couple of nuts (jammed together as locknuts) 
about

1" from bottom of allthread. Use all thread to lock new fitting onto 
inspection

plate (allthread needs to be a bit longer than new pipe fabrication. I use a
hex
head machine bolt to seal up hole in inspection plate when not used for 
table,

but I suppose something more elegant could be thought up :)
