[C320-list] Small leak at Propeller Plate

[jim brown]

I also had trouble finding information on the repair although I did find the picture of the strut bolts. 
Could you send instructions on how to find to the article on the fix at catalina 320.com?. 
Thanks

Jim Brown

Thanks for the info.  We didn't find any info. on the Catalina site, so please let us know what product you used to seal around the base.



Thanks
