[Public-list] Alberg 30 Mast Plate

[cathie & john coultis]

Thank you, for the info. I can't access the bolts from inside the cabin so I
am concerned about the actual process to remove the plate from the cabin
top. I do not know what I'll find underneath.

sure I did not bend the aluminum frames when I removed them and making sure
that they were absolutely clean when I replaced them. Go slow and be very
patient and you should be fine on this part. It very helpful if you have a
helper on the job - I "proved" that the job can be done single handedly, but
I do not recommend it. Another wrinkle I remember was that the fiberglass
around the ports had delaminated and need to be reattached. If you follow
the directions to a T, the ports will not/should not leak when you finish
the job. Mine didn't, and I am not a pro at this kind of work.  I can not
help you on the other two jobs. I do not have the first problem and I am
about to do the second  job and will be interested in the responses you get
on this.
