replace/repair the exterior panels on a 326 Aft
Looking for some ideas on repairing the exterior panels that "wrap around" the aft deck. We had some straight line winds that snapped dock lines and our dock at the marina (floating dock) actually broke away. Luckily, only damage we sustained was to the plastic panels. We completely lost the corner/curved piece and found one of the plastic panels. Need to reattach but don't know if I can order the correct bushings to afix to the rail. Don't have a clue about replacing the corner piece. Any ideas would be welcomed.

There are some threads here about folks doing similar repairs. Is your corner piece aluminum? There were also some suggestions and sources for the stand off bushings between the panels and the railing, as well as recommendations on the rivets vs screws.

Hello Ssmullugan, Did you ever locate replacement standoff bushings? I am in search of the same parts for my 300 Aft Cabin
