When I got the boat, the cabin top clutch for the outhaul was pretty worn.
Probably people pulling out the sail with the clutch all the way down and wearing the teeth.
Easy enough to do, and I forget sometimes as well.
This has been on the backlog for me to fix up for a while. My biggest (mostly psychological) barrier was thinking that I would have to deal with access from the inside of the cabin as well - i.e. nuts/washers against a backing plate - and reseating the dreaded overhead vinyl.
I recently saw in a forum somewhere else where somebody said that on their Hunter (can't remember what year or where I saw it) that access from the inside is not required. That the backing plates are glassed in and threaded or something?
Anyway, this is back on the radar for me. Before I start removing stuff from the inside, I thought I would ask others first.
Has anybody done this on their 41AC/41DS?
This would be the starboard side cabin top clutch - four clutches in a single frame.
Thanks in advance.
