Overview of Accessory Components
- Stanchion Bases:
- Conical Base (#334650): The primary OEM base used across modern Beneteau/Jeanneau models. Features a flared cone base designed to distribute lateral loads. Beneteau part #334650 is a flared conical stanchion base designed to distribute lateral lifeline loads across a broader deck surface, whereas part #178124 is a cylindrical stanchion base with a compact profile specified for 22 mm inner-diameter stanchion mountings.
Key Functional Differences:
Footprint & Mounting: Part #334650 uses an angled, flared cone shape to mitigate deck stress when leverage is applied to the lifeline. Part #178124 uses a straight cylindrical profile intended for tight deck locations or toe-rail mountings where space for a wider cone flange is limited.
Stanchion Mating: Both support standard 25 mm outer-diameter stanchions with a 22 mm bottom insert, but the interior socket depth and base angle differ to match specific hull and deck bevels. - Parallel/Flat Base (#002877): Used primarily on flat deck surfaces and legacy First/Oceanis models.
- Backing Plates:
- Part #36-91: S/S backing plate placed underneath the deck gelcoat/fiberglass to prevent stanchion breakout during high loads.
- Boarding Gate Accessories:
- Braced Support Legs: Diagonal $25\text{ mm}$ support struts attached to gate stanchions to absorb tension when life-gates are open.
- Pelican Hooks (#27-886 / #121312): Over-center quick-release latches attached to $3/16\text{“}$ lifeline wire ends for side-boarding access.
