Aft deck drain removal

the washers were displayed so i could reference their clearance on the inside, which is were i plan to use them. the bolt head diameter refers to a normal hex bolt like you mentioned. those are the ones i plan to use the reason why im trying to get them inline and not vertically is an aesthetic one,...

cool, glad i was getting it right In the mean time i redesigned the chain plates: the smaller ones were converted to a T shape, incorporating the 3 x 10 mm bolts the V shaped one now accomodates 4 x 10 mm bolts The circles you see are: yellow= M10 bolt hole green= M10 bolt head diameter red= M10 was...

hi im not sure if i was clear on the drawings: The very top hole on either plates is the attachment hole for the turnbuckle Currently i have 1 x 12mm and 1 x 10 mm for the lower shrouds plates and 2 x 12mm for the V shaped plate. At this stage i should mention that: The first bolt in all chain plate...

New design for the centre chainplate ( the one for the long stay, up to the mast top) (6 mm 1 x 19 SWR) this new design came about because the bulkhead, which separates the V berth from the salon, lies exactly in line with the anchor point. Originally they went around this by installing a U bolt tha...

Keel update: (and thoughts) I was already set to have the keel bolts removed and replaced on the next haul out, and last week i discovered that on the very aft keel bolt there has been some very slow water ingress. I have been keeping the front section of the bilge totally dry for the last 2 months,...

Starboard side cockpit lockers

Having the lockers lid done first enable me to breathe a bit better when the time comes to glass in the walls and baffles of the water tank underneath the quarter berth. fun times ahead !!

the previous owner told me the keel is encapsulated and then showed me the drawing, i got confused with it also. like you said if it is encapsulated why the need for bolts?! his reason to tell the keel is encapsulated is due to, when on the hard, he couldnt see any separation along the keel, as if e...

the text on the left says: 6 steel pipes are poured into the keel, for the 6 keel bolts dia. 1 ". The keel bolts dia. 1/2 "and dia. 3/4" are screwed into the keel. the keel is cast iron so, there are 6 main keel bolts of 1" diameter whose head is recessed into the bottom of keel ...

i got this drawing from the previous owner

thanks again Atomvoyager Today wasnt a good day. It turns out that the keel bolts are corroded......see photos corroded keel bolts.jpeg The keel is encapsulated which means that either water made its way thru the fiberglass (permeation) or thru a crack, or they corroded from water collecting on the ...

That G 10 board its a good idea, i might follow that route and get some layers of biaxial on top of it

What about some backing plates in stainless, 6mm as well, just to bomb proof the system?

Thanks for the tips!

Hi Thanks for the input (and for the tips about the lining products for the water tank. my supplier had a different product from a Taiwanese manufacturer called Rainbow, its a 2 part epoxy product which is half the price of Interline 850, it seems it will work, will let you know later) The photo sho...

Hi again Been thinking lately about converting my chainplates to external ones. This would make inspecting a way more straightforward process and it would mean that any future repairs to the toe rail wouldnt entail messing with the standing rigging. At the same time i would plug those holes in the t...

i´ve used a Makita 9030 belt sander, 40 grit, revved to maximum, got some grooves in but nothing to worry about, a lot of dust even being careful with the vacuum.

next step: going to apply some paint stripper over the keel bolts, then wire brush them with a drill

pmnfernando

some rot discovered
it is going to be a shit fight to get all that rotten ply entrenched what is basically a pour of resin.....

v berth

pmnfernando

V berth I guess the next thing to do it is to protect all that bare fiberglass that was beneath the lining. For that i will go with interprotect and interlux perfection. I guess the step after it is to create a watertight anchor locker accessed thru the deck Im including some photos of the sheerclam...

Hi markwesti Yeah, do enjoy the availability of those infrastructures, they really make life easier and cheaper!
