Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
eric freedman
I have been using that butyl tape over the boat for a few years. However, for this application I think I would use a polysulfide like boat life or something similar. I would not feel comfortable using butyl as I don't think I could get a continuous bond all the way through the hull.. Using butyl on deck fittings is great as you can put some around the underside of bolt holes and then some under the head of the bolts and it works great , but for the chain plate bolts I would not use butyl.

Re: Sq. footage of hull
Interesting that the Delos crew seem not to know that Amel has always used a barrier coat inside the gelcoat such that blisters are not an issue. After sand-blasting, which may have compromised the gelcoat/barrier coat they then applied 3 layer$ of barrier coat. Oh well, belts and suspender$ and suspender$ and suspender$. Great that a blog can handle the budget.

Hello James,
After several Amelians suggested the use of Butyl Tape, and after a bit of research on the subject.... I am going to use the Butyl Tape. Though I am a bit worried about completely removing the chainplate..... Ken

Re: Sq. footage of hull
SV Delos has a good video for measuring the sq footage of the SM2k bottom and they used 9 gal of primer "I think"for their bottom. Around 705sqft. One layer grey, one white, and another grey. Then they used a new tech type spray on coating for the anti foul. But that video is SV Delos Bottom Work in Grenada and that will tell you exactly how much they used, I just haven't watched it in awhile. Hope this helps, in reading what others put you have several options for sizes.

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install
Hi Gary,
No kit number, we had to measure. And they are different, some wheels like ours with alloy spokes, some have round stainless spokes, no sure if the diameters are the same. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

By a small amount I think all the dimensions were different enough to need a good accurate measurement. Sorry I can't remember more details. Should have written things down...

Gary- you have to remove the old cover and measure very carefully. I even sent pics of some of the measurements. Oddly, boat leather.com does not save measurements from previous orders. I was pretty sure I have Alan's same wheel (his is 437) but while the owner had a record that he sold something to Alan, he didn't save the measurements.

Thanks Alan- so can you see the disused holes in the wheel cover where it moves over the spoke or no ?

Thanks Joel. That would explain why two covers I got from Amel were too small. Maud didnt seem to know about the different diameters. Was the difference in wheel diameter or the size of the tube used. Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
James Alton
Ken,
I have worked on boats that used the butyl tape and use it myself for applications. It is good stuff overall and I always carry some on the boat. Works best it seems on mating parts that keep pressure on the buytl. If for instance you removed the chainplate and used the buytl tape between the chainplate and the fiberglass, the material would be pressed into the bolt holes and seal well. You can also come back later and retighten the bolts if a new leak occurs and sometimes it will reseal, not so with caulk. But I have not had the best luck sealing bolt holes alone with Butyl since the material does not want to stay on the bolt and fully fill the voids like caulking can. So if I were just sealing the bolts I would go with a caulking. Best, James

I knew the copper vent pipe for the fuel tank in the closet area, however, I didn't know about the potential condensation problem within the closet. I will look a bit closer at the potential places where the water could come from, but I am pretty sure it is coming from at least one of the bolt holes on the bottom row of 4 bolts holding the Genoa chainplate. Stick a few paper towels in various places and see which one gets wet. Next, I guess I need to do some research about Butyl tape. See if that could be the silver bullet I've been looking for...

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
James Alton
Ken,
Your plan should get you sealed back up. I didn't mention my recommendations for a sealant since I assume that you have a limited selection to pick from. The 5200 or 4200 will work for you. If you however can find the Polyether caulking called Multicaulk, sold in the States by West Marine, this would be my top choice because it does not seem to break down and turn gooey like the Polyurathenes can over time. Exposure to any kind of oil such as diesel is a problem for Polyurathenes and accelerates the softening. The Multicaulk is a bit softer and more flexible than the Polyurathenes, even the 4200. The softeness is a benefit in the bond of the sealant. Exposure to oils can temporarily soften the Polyether but as the oil is washed away, the polyether tends to return to it's original cured state. I have had complete failures with 4200 (and 5200 would be no different) from painting over the caulking seams on a wooden hull with traditional oil paints. Polyether caulking can be painted or vanished over without problems.
Best of luck,
James

I think I have a good procedure for the repair now. But as aways, subject to change once I get into job. It looks as though it should take all of 3 hours to complete this task, but as boat jobs go, I alway grossly underestimate time required 'til completion.
So, here is my revised plan of attack for this 1. Remove 1 or 2 of the bolts. Not to remove the entire chainplate. 2. Clean hole and bolt with acetone. 3. Verify no damage or pitting to the bolts. 4. Tape off area that I don't want to be covered in 4200. 5. Put good amount of 4200 into hole. Use a small toothbrush or q-tip to make sure that 4200 is completely covering the walls of bolt hole. 6 . Replace bolts and nuts. 7. Repeat (1 to 6) until finished with all the bolts. Except, I am only planing to do the 4 bottom bolts under the rub rail, not the single bolt in the middle of the chainplate. This bolt does not show signs of leaking, and even if it did, the leak should be at most, minor, due to the location. Unlike the 4 bottom bolts which could submersed in water for extended periods of time under the rub rail rubber. 8. Glue interior back together. Planing to use 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive. This part should be straightforward. 9. Replace Rub Rail rubber piece. Using lots of soap and a bit of water! If anyone has any suggestions, or reasons why I should change the process, let me know? Thank you all!! Ken Aquarius SM2K#262 In Krabi Boat Lagoon, Thailand

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install
Looks awesome!
I wrote to them and asked about a kit for the SM .. Their reply was that "there are different sizes" so I needed to send measurements ... I didn't think this was the case. May I ask if you got a "Kit" number or part number from them I could reference? If not, I'll start measuring (whick means stripping the old stuff off first, I presume). Thanks! Gary W.

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
Jose Venegas
Ken,
Perhaps something you already did but just in case, were you able to visualize water going through the bolt? Now that you have it stripped down the rub rail you can put some water outside and make sure the leak is through the bolt and, if not visualize where it is actually coming from. Jose Ipamena SM 278
