Salon table repair

[Gregory Carleu]

I posted this in March, but people didn't have access to their boats ...

Anyhow, I have an incomplete Pearson 31-2 salon table. If anyone could post pictures of the table, especially how it is connected to the boat, I'd appreciate it. I'll use them to remanufacture the missing pieces. A Pearson 33-2 or 36-2 salon table would probably also do the trick.

Thank you in advance,

Greg Carleu

Back at the boat in 2 wks, I will put a reminder in my phone to take pics.

Have you tried to buy a table from a salvage shop?

Here's what I took tonight. Let me know if you need more.  My table legs were remade with SS, and I had him modify the bases to surround the joists, not just bolt on top like the originals....they were too flimsy.

As it was so late last night, I rushed the posting above.  Here's some more clarity on the pictures. Each  assembly holds 2 wooden supports, one for port and one for starboard sides of each table wing.  I always keep the big port wing down, held to a table leg with a bungie cord.  The assemblies fit on top of the 2 legs and sit on them via pressure. I can't find any screws or such locking them on,  just seems to be pressure from the weight of the table.  Each assembly has 2 matching parts held together with the long bolts and nuts.  I had it all apart when I refinished the table years ago, but it was pretty simple and basic.  If all you're missing is the legs and assemblies, you should be able to recreate them easily.  As said before, I don't suggest just bolting the leg bases down on the "top" only as the table would shake and actually move if you leaned against it.  Since I redid the aluminum ones with the SS ones, and had the bases go over and down the joists, my table is SOLID and no movement at all.   Good luck, and let me know if you need anything else.

Sorry I missed the window – I said I would photo our table (which was in storage at the time)

Here are some photos from today.  Let’s talk offline about the details

Great work Pauline!   As you can see Greg, the original round floor supports allowed removal of the table legs and all.  My modification for my SS legs do not....I can remove the table itself with some force as the SS table legs are sliced in 4 places at the top to pressure fit into the table leg assemblies.  The original is basically just an RV set up made with aluminum bases and legs, and as I said, that makes for a very flimsy table.  RV's don't have constant waves or heeling to deal with :)  Glen

I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses. I think I've got enough info to have the legs and the mount to the boat rebuilt.I have the four original pieces that connect to the table, but I don't have the legs or the floor mounts. The method that "LastResort" used looks sturdy and I'm planning on going with that.

Thanks again,

Greg

I have a couple of more questions that I would have sent directly to Glen, but the answers may be useful to others.

- What is the outer diameter of your table legs?

- How long are the legs?

- how long and how wide are the slots at the top of the legs?

Thanks!

SORRY, but I put LR to bed on Monday and am home now in Grimsby.  Mine were the same as the original legs in diameter and length so they'd fit the assemblies keeping all the wood pieces together.  HOPEFULLY some here who's still got their boat in the water can help you with that.  I did have to cut slices in the top of the legs about 2" or so to allow them to crush and fit into the holes of the assemblies.  But they are REALLY wedged in there and have NEVER come close to being loose.  Hope that helps and Good Luck!!!
