Found some very old posts on this but elected to start a new one hoping to get some insight. News on old posts was not good. I have a 2008 27 PC that we bought in April and are still shaking her out. Cruising this weekend we noticed that the bow rail stanchion broke completely free from the hull, port side roughly above the midship cleat. Removed the port lounger seat hoping for access, but nope. Old posts seem to support that its going to require some signicant cabin trim disassembly to access the backing plate. Really? Formula Huard warranty is still in effect but Formula at this point seems to feel its considered hardware, not hull. Obviously I disagree. This is a direct attachment to the hull and a safety feature. There is no evidence of damage/impact to the rail (boat only has 22 hours). It appears simply as though it's just stripped out. Anyone deal with this repair before? Key contact inside Formula?
