[Rhodes22-list] Compression Repair and Addition of Compression Post

[David Culp]

This is a link to a web page discussing the compression repair I just did on
my 1998:

It is easier to tell the story using a web page then trying to add photos at
the end of a post.  I am throwing this out there for people who may be faced
with a similar situation.  I understand now that Stan has a compression post
kit made out of stainless.  That might be the way to go, but I had the boat
out of the water and this is the way I did it based on recommendations from
the boatyard.  So far, quite pleased with the results.  I guess the obvious
question is... does it interfere with going into the head.  The short answer
is "no" not really, though there is a bit less room to squeeze by.  It
actually looks rather "salty" and the stain color matched the interior
pretty well.
