[Rhodes22-list] FW: Chain plate repair

[Ed Huffer]

Thanks!   I saw those and thought mine might be fairly easy to do without cutting the interior as I have all my windows out.  Is that more sturdy than the original design?   Thank you for taking the time to do that.

Not too bad.  Here are some photos of what Slim did when he had a pulled chain 
plate.

Above shows backing block epoxied to the outside skin after an access hole is 
cut in the cabin liner.

Shows attachment screws that are drilled through cabin side and inner backing 
block.  I used nylons screws for this instead of metal because I wanted the 
screws to break if this ever happened again.  Didn't want the whole cabin side 
being ripped out.

Shows cover plate over access hole.


The inner chain plates bend once they come through the cabin top and are screwed 
into the cabin top plywood under the cabin liner.  What Slim and I both did was 
mounted a straight chain plate to the boat and attach it through the side of the 
cabin.  I'm pretty sure Stan came up with this repair.  I'm using Slim's photo's 
since he did a neater job than I did. Slim?? - rob
