[Rhodes22-list] Chain Plate Problem

[Lowe, Rob]

Jeff,
There have been several discussions on rebidding chain plates that have been torn out due to various mishaps.  The aft inner chain plates bend 90 degrees once the enter the cabin top and are screwed into plywood that comprises the cabin roof.  Having had to repair my torn out chain plate, I would accept some amount of wiggling as acceptable.  What is important is to try to keep water from entering in around the chain plate, which can be difficult since they can wiggle a bit.  - rob

Hi List
Does anyone have experience re bedding the outer, center chain plate(s)?  Can you describe how to get access to it and what it ties in to structurally?  My port side  chainplate wiggles a bit.  I think it should be rock solid.
Thanks for any tips you might have!
