[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard cap

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I used 1/4" bolts, washers and lock nuts. In my case the cap was sealed with
something like 3M 5200, the cap was riveted on and then the whole thing was
covered with fibreglass cloth! Fortunately the fibreglass was applied so
badly it wasn't difficult to remove. In removing the cap it was badly
damaged as was the centreboard trunk join face so I had to fabricate and
attach a 1/8" aluminium surface with epoxy paste and rivets to create a
smooth face. None of that should  be necessary in your case.

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?

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.

to put the stringers in and i am looking at the centerboard cap and
wondering if i should take it apart and inspect it all.  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.
