[Public-list] Chainplate Cover screws and stem head fitting

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Richard,

Thanks I am going to order a set from West Marine, very inexpensive for a
nice modification.

Also we reviewed the new stem head fitting for the Alberg. It will very
similar to the bronze unit on #114, made from 3/8 stainless plate with two
integral bow rollers. We are also going to extend the area near the toe rail
to have integrated chocks mounted onto the stainless and bolted into the
deck joint. This will remove the chocks from the wooden toe rail or in my
case the previous owner mounted them onto the stemhead fitting. When this is
completed, I will send George some photo's for the web site.

Thank you for the photos of your setup, the newer boats are different but we
used this as a guide.

Regards,
Stephen

Stephen,  mine were installed with four very short stainless screws.  I 
used 3M 4200 to bed the covers which as you probably know is pretty 
adhesive stuff.  I doubt the screws are really all that necessary if you 
use an adhesive sealant especially since the covers are captive over the 
chainplates and can't fly off even if they came loose. Perhaps the screws 
aid in forcing the sealant into the gaps but you could do that with some 
pressure.  My decks have been recored with Divinicell and resin so the 
screws don't penetrate into any soft core material.  By the way,  the 
cover installation has a very nice finished look
