More response to this thread; I’ve been working on the fixed ports on my boat
over the last few days and and paying close attention. After absorbing a good
bit of the info in the thread and the links provided, I’m planning on moving
away from using Plexus ("if it was good enough for my grandfather it’s good
enough for me!”) and using the 3M tape. Seems the more modern ticket to me.
I’m anticipating the operation to be a good bit easy than using Plexus,
certainly if it is just one person doing the job.
Cheers,
Dave Godwin
