Hey everyone, I noticed that our baby stay stud that attaches to the hull was broken this past weekend. I haven't used the baby stay since we've gotten the boat (~3-4 years ago). But I know it was previously attached. It seems it broke sometime in the last month or so. It looks like water may have gotten down into the hole and it seems to have rusted away.
1. Any ideas on it's actual shape and size? It looks to me like a standard rigging stud, just fairly thick. But I have no idea how it was attached, or if there was a mounting plate or anything that was glassed in to the hull? 2. Replacements? Anywhere I can find it? 3. How do I re-mount it? Is this something I can do while in the water? Or am I going to have to dig something out and re-bed the whole thing? Here are some photos for reference. https://drive.google.com/file/d/104c_WRGp5_HCtd4GugDWbI8x96faZjEFSg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a2KxDYLuZkHMvqg4JLqBBLxrnznGlI7wRg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H39DlvaqaiM1mwf8bCz-pu9WoPGzmeSu4Q/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sgCnY_SpTw5gkoOjHk21Yp0-lgfjdgjpjw/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/10enub0yr-OfrLbfdpeNC3UTjGTgpBX_wUA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d4lj_XnK39SYJLaGANr5tAeF-BV_KYMVqg/view?usp=sharing Thanks, Kevin Paxton '82 34 #473 Japhys Spirit Cornfield Creek, Magothy River, MD
