[C38] steering post leak

[Malcolm (Max) Winter]

What year is your C38? The copper strip is a bonding strip that normally attaches to thru hull fittings and or rudder post. With Marelon thru hull fittings you do not need bonding.

David,
 
Not sure about the copper strip, don’t have one on my boat.   Do you not have access through either the quarter berth or port side locker?

Hi Steve,

 

I finally got around to dealing with the rudder post this weekend and discovered that there does not seem to be a way to access it, except from below deck.

I removed the floor form the rear lazaret thinking I could get to it that way...wrong (see photo). Also checked under the both cockpit benches for possible

access. Any suggestions?

 

Also, when I removed the rear lazaret floorboard I discovered a copper strip (see photo) that did not seem to connect to anything on either end, but that could be because of corrosion. Is this something that needs to be replaced and if so, does it connect to anything?

 

Thanks very much.

 

Best,

David
