[Rhodes22-list] Heres how I installed the new chain plates

[Graham Stewart]

Steve:
With the old chain plates still in place as well, your fix should easily
last through a category 5 hurricane or 200 years - whichever comes first.
Good Job! 

I removed my old ones entirely, (yes the deck is cored) and will attach the
new ones to the outside of the cabin sides having filled the gap between the
cabin sides and the liner with epoxy coated plywood. Yours will be much
neater looking with only a few bolt heads showing and the chainplates
hidden. It never occurred to me to do it that way.

The inner and outer sides of cabin where windows are are each solid
fiberglass. I think the top is same but with wood in between as sandwich but
I haven't drilled thru that ever. I may have said I attached chain plate to
hull but really meant to cabin side. I have 2 bolts going thru outside cabin
side fiberglass, then caulking, then 3/8 aluminum backing plate, then new
chain plate, then lock nuts and nuts and then a cover to hide the mess and
maybe give some strength to the area I cut out of the liner.
