I recently received a 1976 Cat-22 so have no experience with it. I am in the process of refurbishing it and have a question about what I think is a weird shroud anchor. Please see attached photo. This is a standard U-bolt that the center shroud is attached to. This is the one that goes through the spreader in the mast. This U-bolt is behind the aft shroud anchor and simply goes through the deck with no water proofing. This appears to me to be out of place. Fortunately, I feel no sponginess in the deck in this area.
Should I remove and patch the U-bolt? There is one in the same location on the other side. Have any idea why this might be here?
Thanks,
Mike
