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

Product Information

On starboard side a major part of the wooden cover is therefore destroyed and will have to be rebuild.

Like I said in my earlier reply, there is no partial repair, this partial bulkhead requires total replacement, I would not doubt that the one on the other side is probably as bad. More bad news, sorry, but I'm thinking that chainplate goes through the whole bulkheaed, not just the portion outboard of the pin rail. Benz is right, you need to get someone who knows what they're looking at to tell you what needs to be done, and then, how to do it safely. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. So like a dentist with his hellish instruments I was probing through the screw-holes into the core of the beams.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. And, well, yes, with a sigh … some more items made it onto my to-do list after some 3 hours of work. Eventually the whole system will begin to shift and move, will work fractions of millimeters up and down. Over the years (55+) surveying, I inspected many dismastings and partials because of partial and full bulkheads shreading apart, the ones that did retain the rig was only because the chain plate bolts caught on the bottom side of the deck.

I was surprised that some of the bolts have been screwed very tightly so that I had to put about a lot of power to get them loose, some of them appeared to have been screwed not as tight. 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. 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.

Neither the sharp blades of a carpet knife nor scratching, chiseling or sanding off worked satisfactory.
