Its been quite a few years ago that I last posted/participated on the Cherubini forum. Back now!
The attached photos show the outside/inside chainplate arrangement of my 1980 Cherubini Hunter 36. Based upon what I can actually see, the SS metal still shows no signs of concerning problems. But I have read that in the area underneath between the caulk bedding on the deck surface and the interior, out of sight within the deck core, crevice corrosion may be lurking. Not only Cherubini Hunters. Pertains to all boats of this vintage.
Before I pull a couple of chainplates to really take a look: Has anybody done so? If so, what did you find?
And: Any chainplate failures to report?
cheers,
