I´m having some new rigging made and my boat is currently 600 kms away from where I am .... and to get the shrouds made right I need to know the diametre of the chainplate U bolts that they connect to on the deck. Can anyone help me? Can´t find it in the manual and it´s really important so that the jaw toggle fits properly. Anyone know the answer? Thanks in advance ... pauljarvis@echannelpartners.com

I'll try to measure them tonight but here's a pic. My guess would be 2" center to center, made of 5/16ss. Disregard the rail cleat in the pic, it was an idea who's time never came.

The 2 u-bolts on each side are 3/8" diameter and are 1 3/8" on center.

Good luck, Mike
