Aras Grinius #54306 Morning Volker. I am wondering if you have ideas about storing your dinghy. We have a Portland Pudgy [hard shell dink]. We abandoned the notion of using a rib. Just did not seem worth the trouble. . At any rate, There is not enough room in the stern, so foward deck is the only option. I'm looking for ideas. https://portlandpudgy.com/ toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Wed, Sep 9, 2020 at 7:56 AM Aras via groups.io <aras.grinius=gmail.com@groups.io> wrote: Also if you know what bearings and caps I need to order.

The start of the problem was that the previous owner had used mineral oil grease and this caused the plastic bearings to swell. Time over time the swivel starts to turn stiffer and stiffer until it bends the horns and finally blocks. Volker Mickmoon, Sharki hull 176 -- Aras Grinius -- Aras Grinius -- Aras Grinius
