[Rhodes22-list] Chainplate reinstallation

[Lowe, Rob]

Here is a picture of where the chain plate is originally mounted.  You can sort of tell where the location is by the location of the cabin light. You can't tell a whole lot by the photo, but I cut an access hole in my cabin top liner to examine the damage when mine pulled.  The chain plate enters the cabin top and is bent at a 90 degree angle towards the centerline of the boat.  It is mounted to the plywood shown with a single (maybe two, I only found one) wood screw.  While Ron chose to replace the wood and reinstall the chain plate in the original location, I went with the cabin side mount. - rob

Ron,

Is the 90 degree bend to the outside or inside?

Now that I look closely at what Slim did, he might have used sheet metal screws on both sides to provide the same ability.  I don't think you want a strong though bolt that won't give should another serious problem occur.  If you're discussing with Stan, might see what he recommended.  Or maybe Slim will chime in. - rob
