That's a good idea Gary.I'll try that next time which will probably be a few years away because I use 1/8" butyl tape last time

Mine are through-bolted in from the inside, and I use "O" rings to seal them to the cabin top. I use a countersink on the outside of the cabin top to bevel the hole (just a little bit) to accept the "O" ring. Now I can remove my handrails for refinishing in the winter and I never get sealant and varnish all over my deck. I've never had any trouble with leaks either. In the winter I replace the hand rail with a bolt washer and "O" ring to plug the holes.

I already prepped the penetrations and just have to seal them with the epoxy. The plan is to get to all of them within the next few years. i did the all the pens at the bow last year and added backing plates to everything. This year is handrails and cabin top traveler.

My old handrails were lag screwed from the bottom. I like this approach as it makes installing finished handrails a much less time consuming job. There would be no need for plugging, sanding and re-finishing the plugs after installation. I wanted to re-bed them using the method described on http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/rebedding_hardware. However, the more I think about it, using the Butyl tape doesn't lend itself very well to using lag screws. It seems to me you don't want the bolt/screw turning, as it would grab the Butyl and pull it out of place. You know, that stuff likes to stick to itself and everything else. Wouldn't turning the lag bolt mess up the nice cone shaped blob you place for the countersink area? ... Am I overthinking this? ...should I go back to jolly 'ol 5200? ....should I reconsider through bolts and plugs and then have to deal with refinishing the plug areas. I wouldn't mind but, the need to re-coat 8 times at 1 time per 24hrs really makes it tedious. Especially, when it takes me 40 minutes to get to the boat. Thats not much fun after work every day. 1 1/2 driving for 20 minutes of coating, not to mention the gas...LOL As always, I appreciate any and all opinions and insights, Danny Lolita 1973 Viking 33 Westport Point, MA _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -- ~~~~~~~_/)~~~~~~ _____ No virus found in this message.
