FAMILY="SANSSERIF">John,<BR>I wil not be able to see if there has been
delamination in the vertical hull section until I remove the toe rail and
scrape away the old sealant. I don't think it has delaminated as the symptom
is new.<BR>What is the sheer clamp you spoke of?. Where is it located? What
is it made of? As you can tell I will be trying to obtain all the
information I can. Many new terms are coming into my
vocabulary.<BR>Ralph<BR>Dances With Waves</FONT>
