Over the winter months of 2014, I took the ground tackle out of the forward locker to inspect the floor of the compartment. As I thought, the original steel cleat for the ground tackle had mostly rusted out.
Despite the rusty mess, the glassed in wood floor was completely solid. |
New Glass and 3 layers of bi-axial Cloth that I left over from the Chainplate Knee replacement last year. |
New Teak Trim trim piece epoxied, a bit of 5200 and some larger bolts. |
Starboard side of locker: Access to fresh water tank vent and electrical wiring for the Windlass. I'll replace the old wood cover plate with a Starboard material. |
