removing most of the machine screws leaving a few to hold things in place
What is this, spaghetti?
Lifting harness ready to go, with thanks for the description from the 3I6 site.
Harness set, removing the remaining machine screws
stubborn machine screw, vice grips helped
and we are free, the harness works great.
letting the halyard support the rail
flipping it over to work on the bottom
the reason we needed to do this
definitely a good idea
Carefully scraping the surface of the joint
The more flexible putty knife worked well here.
Careful so you don’t damage the deck gelcoat. Wipe with alcohol for final clean up.
scraping off the old bedding
This scraper seemed to work well
alcohol seems to dissolve the bedding compound without being too toxic
Some of the corrosion “tunneled” and took more determined digging to get out.
hung up and taped for painting
about 4 screws were removed at a time and big screwdrivers used to hold the joint open
notice I am making sure to get both the top and bottom surfaces
then wiped with alcohol soaked rag and allowed to dry
let there be light (and a clean joint)
5200 is injected into the gap and screws re-installed before continuing down the line
squeeze out
rail treated painted and going back into place
It takes two to get this done one to push into place while the other installs screws
last one is the hardest
Running the screws down
one tap on the hull to move to the next screw
this is what taking yoga is good for
All Done
