[C320-list] Rebed Chainplates

[Warren Updike]

Irv, if you are seeing water around the base of the chain plates in the
cabin, or dark stains on the ss or cabin liner, it's likely time to rebed.
Remove the deck plate and inside ss rod, and push out the chain plate and
bedding material.  You may need to exercise the chain plate to free it from
the bedding.  Be sure to check the opening once clean to be sure it is solid
resin and no exposed deck core.  I suspect that on #851 Catalina got around
to making the deck solid where all the rigging is attached.  If you have an
opening between the deck and inner lining, give me a call, we can talk about
it 410-821-8246.

BTW, I did it myself.  Definitely a DIY, especially if retired.  Expensive
to have it done right.

Hi
Interested in what people have done with rebedding their chainplates.

#851 is 10 years old and we have never done anything with them.

Who has had them rebedded?

What was the incident that caused you to do the rebedding?

Did you do it yourself or have a yard do it?

What material was used in the rebedding.

if a yard did it, how much did it cost?

Is this a DIY project?
