Well let’s See if I can get this correct. I have a Hunter 29.5. with three winches above the salon. I have decided to add two winches back on the cockpit either side of the helm. There are specific pre-destinded places for these winchs when the boat was built. So the winches have already been mounted and there were no issue. What I am concerned with is a cheek block that needs to be positioned so that the jibsheet comes from the bottom of the winch. I have not, nor will I change the position of the lead block or the track so the jib sheet will travel from the job to the lead to the cheek to the Winch. To gain the correct angle of the cheek block I have cut a wedge shaped block out of white UHMW that I will mount the cheek block too. I need to attach the block to the outside the cockpit on a vertical surface, there is a slight curve but I have matched it exact on the back side of the spacer block. My question is this. Is Dow 5200 tough enough to hold the spacer block in place without any screws or bolts going through the hull? I do have the ability to support the spacer blocks to keep them in place while the 5200 is curing and will be able to put 4 pound of pressure horizontially pushing the block against the hull.
Somewhat long winded but would appreciate your thoughts.
