So awesome. Good thing you checked them!!

You two continue to amaze me with your knowledge and attention to detail. Thank You , Jim W

Indeed, very informative. Never thought of testing chain plates by sound, what a great idea.

Thank you for taking your time to show us the rope . What a perfect team you guys. I’m looking into sailing in the next year or 2 . Happy sailing every one

Our boat project episodes are reminiscent of Bob Villa's, "This Old House". :) Very glad to have been able to share some knowledge.

Thanks for the video, gives me confidence in doing the same job at some point.

Thank you, great work, I now know which sealant to use as well. By the way, beautiful geoengineered skies at 16:15.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for this. Were you confident that passivation wasn't necessary after machining and grinding the new ones?

[@timsouza7903]

A little late, but for the future, you might leave the nut on the chain plate attach fastener to avoid dinging the threads when you’re pounding the bolt out.

[@timsouza7903]

Another thing, when drilling stainless steel, it is best to once you start don’t stop because it work hardens, and can be all but impossible to drill through once you stop

[@sailingaccidentalgybe]

Good thoughts! Hopefully we WON'T have to do this exercise ever again. Fingers crossed!

No way on earth Im reusing decades old chainplates. You already have them out. Reusing them is foolish.
