Fixman 566783 Chain Plate Electro Galvanised Staple 50 mm x 50 mm

Product Information

Might be necessary to extend the chainplate so that some of the bolts engage original wood; you should consult with a boat repair guy who can look at it in person and advise. If I want to remove and replace the piece of wood on both sides, what kind of solid wood would bond better to the side of the hull? Steves comment " In my experience I have fitted several of these and each time I lost 1 or all of the nuts of the back, this then inolves drilling 3 holes in the deck to form a slot and taping on a nut to a spanner to re-fit plate.

Shrouds deviate those forces into the chain plates which for themselves should be fitted tightly to the hull where the forces will be finally absorbed.

When exposed to constant moisture – as it is the case when used trying to seal the duct of the chain plates – it will rather soak and swell and quickly loose it´s (nevertheless poor) sealing qualities. After minutes of scrubbing I desperately began to use sanding paper to get the whole stuff at least visually clean. If done scruffy, count the miles until you notice the moisture somewhere behind your nice saloon veneers. I decided to have a layer or two of Pre-Kote paint applied to the beams later for two reasons: First is to seal off the pure GRP-surface from potential future drops of leaking moisture coming over the chain plates into the inside, a second one is to have a clean start and a new indicator if – in some years to come – I do check the chain plates again and will thus be able to quickly distinguish new leaks from the old ones. Being in the midst of the refit of my King´s Cruiser 33 sailing yacht a lot of items have been crossed off my list indeed.when the assembly is dis-assembled, I would consider non destructive testing of the chainplate itself. I like the design of my boat, the space, and the way it handle in rough weather, and I like to keep it if possible. The cupboard is forward of the rotten bit where the chainplate attaches, followed by the main bulkhead forward of that? One end of the chainplate is normally fastened to a turnbuckle which is connected to the shroud or stay, whereas the remainder of the chainplate normally has multiple holes that are bolted to the hull, or the chains. When he came to look at them he decided the best repair was to inject acetone along the inside of the holes.

But I want my boat as dry as I can get it so first thing was to sand off the surface underneath the chain plates. Rot spores travel with water migration, you may think you got it all and 6 months to a year you have rot forming again. Normally I would say, most handyman carpenters could do most bulkhead replacements, but this one is very convoluted and will come apart and go back together like a puzzle.To speed up this process I am going to fill the holes with those little packages of silicate which will hopefully suck out all the moisture from the wood. The very two chain plates which have caused the core in the beams to partially disintegrate have done much more damage to the roof.

More bad news, sorry, but I'm thinking that chainplate goes through the whole bulkheaed, not just the portion outboard of the pin rail. The chain plates are made of Niro-steel and a duct through the cabin roof where they are attached to massive beams made of glass-reinforced fiber which are laminated into the outer shell of the hull.The chain wall staple anchor has been made with galvanised plated zinc for corrosion resistant and weatherproof. Honestly it'll be better, and probably easier, to replace the whole piece rather than trying to scarf in a section. Older Darts with sail number 1000 upwards will have a backing plate bonded into the super structure and this will not fall off". I went to the marina today, and this time I removed some of the rotted wood, and took some pictures, and as you can see it extends close to the plates. But if that is the case then it might be possible to pull out the rotten piece forward, into the cupboard, having cut through the glass tabbing.
