[C38] Bedding Shrouds

[Phil Gay]

Steve,

 

Which chainplates did you rebed?  Did you remove the chainplate or the deck
cover?  I used  a polysulfide sealant on my aft lower shroud chainplates and
have had no success in stopping a leak around the inboard of the two bolts
which hold the chainplate weldment to the deck.  How hard do you think it
would be to seal around a  bolt head?  Apparently I haven't gotten it right
even though I allowed it to harden before torqueing the nut down.  I would
have liked to have been able to remove the chainplate and completely inspect
it but it looks like one would need to take the cabinet apart to get at it.

 

I think I will try the 4200.

Rick,

 

I just did mine on Peregrine and used 3M 4200, so that in the future it
could easily be dug out and redone when the time comes.  Has been working
great for the last two months and we have had lots of rain.

A while back someone mentioned re-bedding the chain plates.  Was there a
consensus on what to use?  I seem to recall it was marine epoxy but don't
remember which one.  Any thoughts?

 

Rascal has stains on the bulkheads from water leaks but no structural
problems.  Also some of the bolts through the cabin top leak as well.
Fortunately in SoCal we don't get much rain but the moisture from fog drips
through as well.
