Josh, this link will https://www.dropbox.com/sc/ktgqzwodk1i0z3u/CxUksbEoW3 take you to pictures that show the damage I had in my boat. I apologize for the quality. Somewhere I have additional pictures showing the completed repair. In short the knees are what the chainplates attach to. Mine began pulling loose from the boat. I removed a portion of the liner and replaced the plywood knees. If I can find the other pictures showing the finished repair I will add them to the folder.
