[C38] FW: RE: FW: C 38 Chain plate info

Catalina 38 list,

I am forwarding an email thread between myself and Catalina Yachts concerning chain plate removal.  It appears that the chainplates were not designed to be removed for inspection.

I spoke to Gerry and showed him the photos.  The way to rebed the chain plates is from the outside.  The cover around the base on the deck can be removed.  At that point you can rebed them.

Attached is a photo of the starboard aft lower chainplate viewed from above deck.  The chainplate on the port side is identical only opposite.  Note that 2 of the bolts shown in the photo go through the deck and connect to the chainplate bracket below the deck.

That chain plate looks as if it has been replaced at least once.  Something looks different about it.

I am sorry to ask, but could you please take a photo of what it looks like on deck?  

Thanks you,
Lenore

Attached are 2 photos of the starboard aft lower chainplate.  My real question is how does one remove it for inspection and rebedding.
