Hi Matt,

I'm not able to open your attachments.  But, I had issues with my lower sidestays back in 2010.   I installed inspection ports and thru bolted the chainplates to the outer doghouse wall using SS fender washers as backing plates.  The inspection ports were off the shelf, white plastic Beckson, snap-in inspection ports installed inside the cabin.  A hole saw makes quick work making the holes thru the cabin wall.  The entire project took a Saturday afternoon to accomplish.  Now, I can inspect my lower sidestay chainplates whenever I wish.  It was a pretty easy project.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Inner Shroud Issues

Hello everyone,

I am asking for guidance on my current issues with the forward inner
shrouds.  It appears someone had over tightened them in the past and made
some attempts to shore them up.  I will include pictures oif what is going
on from below and topside.  My question is is this something I
should completely rework or should I only make attempts to keep water out
by sealing up the deck around them?

Many thanks for your help,
