You guys were great with my first questions and as predicted new ones keep popping up.
1. I have an access hole near the mast- in looking inside I see no buoyancy of any sort- is there supposed to be? and how does one replace it? should one replace it?
2. Is there any problem with using Marine grade 5200 adhesive for replacing some of the hardware-heard it was too strong?
2. Looking inside this access hole I think I see some fiberglass work, around the sail step area? There is absolutely no sign of damage on the deck. But, as I look at the outside of the hull where the mast sits, I see a faint ouline of the 4x4 block the mast seems to sit on inside-is this normal? Or, did this mast fall through the hull and was repaired. Puzzling, as it seems very solid. Is there any other reason, other than a mast repair, for having this access hole next to the mast?
thanks again for all your help on the previous questions. just trying to garner the likely history of this boat-sellars speak little english and.......
