Starting a refit on my boat and found this video to be one of the most concise clear how to videos on UA-cam. Quickly went to subscribe only to be disappointed to see this was the last video made. What a shame as this guy has a knack for DIY explanation and the person running the camera does excellent work.
Nice video for beginners. I agree, replace the bolts. I mark the thread location before loosening the turnbuckle...helps with keeping the same tension when putting it back together.
Subscribed. Excellent video on the subject. Wish all the sailing/repair vids were this direct, concise, accurate. I am shopping for a boat, so thanks for covering a subject I find critical.
Real good video dude. Im a rookie. Just bought a 37 fter. Wantin to do the chainplates. Your video is absolutely thee best one out there on the topic. Great DETAILS. Your photography SHOWS whats goin on. Just real good thanks.
This was so great! We are about to pull our chainplates and this totally helped the cause. We are much less stressed about it now after watching your video. Many thanks!
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it helped. You guys have put out some helpful videos, too. The port light one is of particular interest to me. That's one of those tedious projects that keeps getting bumped down on my to-do list!
interesting to see the decisions made on these old production boats. they were probably never expecting them to last as long as they have. I dislike the pockets. I'd much rather have two plates bolted around a bulkhead. Also I think the coverplate could be discarded and replaced with a standoff, say a block of wood epoxied to the deck. then water on the deck doesn't stand against the sealant. The chainplates on this boat are mounted so close to the hull side that you might as well have external chainplates, which will eliminate the possibility of the deck leak. (I think the bolts though the hull side won't be a risk of leak because they will be squeezing the hull side very tightly.
Saving up to buy a boat, checking the videos, buying a few books. Always wondered how the actual chain plate was attached through the deck. Also liked you showing the actual detail of doing it, rather than telling us the chain plates should be checked for cracks or overcomplicating which some videos do which is discouraging. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear the video was helpful. Good luck with your boat purchase. Lots to learn and lots to do with boats, but that's what makes owning them so rewarding!
This video well done, very instructive and really helpful. I have had leaking chain plates on my HR 31 Monsun for some time now and I've been dreading to do anything about it. Now the time has come... and I feel better prepared for it after having watched this video. Thanks!
Anyone know if you could coat the chainplate in some kind of sealing spray, like a laquer to protect it before reinserting it? I always worry that then you have an unknown chemical reaction with surrounding fibreglass etc. Sometimes things that are done with the best intentions can be devastating, but has anyone had experience with other anti-corrosion ideas?
If those covers on deck really are aluminium, you really should replace them with SS. The galvanic corrosion between those two metals will definitely cause a failure.

"Is that really appropriate?" 😂😂
On a more serious note: Excellent instruction!

Thank you so much for walking through this tutorial! I don't know much about boats but your lesson added life to my dream.

@@sailcycle3248 I'm glad you got something out of the portlight video! That was a long project, but very worthwhile!
Thanks fine job! I'm subscribed, I know what I wanted to know now very helpful.

Great video...Thanks for taking the mystery out of it.
I feel much more confident tackling this project during the off season.

Very helpful video. Thanks
The mast doesn't stand straight. It runs aft for downward sail🎉.Adjust your mast
like your video thanks on showing us how to check chain plates.

amazing! thank you~

Great, well delivered!!! Thanks
From an automotive mechanic, please never ever reuse cotter pins. They're dirt cheap and it makes no sense to risk it.
What make/model boat is that? Looks similar to a ‘67 Pearson Vanguard we once had. Thanks.
Great vid super helpful and well explained
I noticed the PA plates on your car. I am in Philly with a boat I intend to cleanup myself. What boat yard are you in?
Your chainplate won't break, always change the bolts even if they look ok, besides they are cheap.
Your wife! Your shorts are inappropriate! Lmao! Good video!
Love the boat... what hull number is it>?
Uh,bottle jacks buddy 😵
Replace the bolts
rebed all deck hardware with marine butyl tape, flexes and won't leak and easy to remove if you need to do repairs etc.
thanks very helpfull i amnot paying anybody i will do my myself
