Bob, I was wondering if you ever physically removed the chain plates?  Also I like your idea about butyl tape under the deck cover plates and 4200 in the hole around the chain plate opening!

Thanks Jack

All but two of the chain plates can be inspected from below with the simple removal of a few screws on cover panels or cabinet backs. Inspecting the aft lowers takes a little more de-constructive cabinet work. Both aft chain plates are easily inspected from the garage and respective lazarette.  We re-did ours recently and used a combination of 4200 to form the bottom level with a thick layer of butyl rubber on top. Some minor Dremel work was needed to smooth and taper the openings. Also the cover plates needed some filing to open up the slot so there would be no metal to metal contact.

Hello All,

Our 20 year old standing rigging is due for replacement.  While the mast is off it seems like a prudent time to inspect the chain plates.  Has anyone had success accessing and inspecting the chain plates on a Hylas 49?  Any amplifying info would be appreciated.
