[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard top glassed in?

[Lou Rosenberg]

Steve

I wholeheartedly second what Chris has advised in his post.
You need to replace those pop rivets with bolts and nylocks.

Reality check: this job takes at least 6-8hrs as you are working all on your
knees
in a cramped space with little access to the rear fasteners.  I used small
mirrors 
and rubber gloves to save my hands but its a tough job in any weather.

Neoprene gasket material is very affordable online at McMaster-Carr

And after consulting the list, last yr was my first year I didnt bother with
sealant except around the fastener holes.  Made the assembly job go much
easier and less messy!  No leaks from my CB gasket!
