Hey All,
After successfully changing out the standing rigging (see previous
message thread for excellent advice given to me) I discovered that my
starboard chainplate is a bit corroded i.e. a line 1/16" to 1/8" deep
and 1 1/2" across on the interior where the plate goes into the deck.
Doh! I don't know what the safety margin is regarding aluminum
thickness/strength but I contacted Schock anyway to see about
replacement chain plates. The short of it is that they no longer
fabricate spares as the new Tuna chain plates have different
dimensions. BTW Seals doesn't carry them either.
So the question is: does anybody know where to get them or have them
made and how much it might cost?
Thanks
Javier
