[Rhodes22-list] Bowsprit broken...fix?

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Don,

It doesn't appear to be welded. It looks like a plastic piece inside the tube failed. I am going to look at it more closely today. 

Cheers,
Ted

It's easy to unscrew the rail with a socket wrench.  You may need to disconnect the wires that run up the aft starboard tube if you have a rail mounted bow light.
