[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard cap

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

The more i think about it the more i realize i need to get in there and inspect it all.  Bolts huh!  Well that would secure it better and be less likely to cause a split.  Did you use washers too to spread the load?

When I popped the cap to replace the line on my '86 I found the blocks to be bent up and the plasmic on one gone and replaced all with all stainless blocks. I replaced the screws with the recommended bolts.  As you are that far into it, I would take the cap off and inspect.  If all is well, chalk it off as a learning experience.

The line looks good and it works. Some of the gelcoat is chipped off the cb. Three of the cb cap screws are mild steel and rusty.
