Leak ,,, raining ,,, leak
 

On starboard side of boat. Near where chainplates come through. But, can't
seem to find source.

What would you all do? If you have re-sealed your chainplates lately;
could you give me an update on the method. My rig is up so the room around
the chainplate covers is limited.

What kind of boat?

I had the same problem and solved it with the rig up.

Roger ,,, did you take up the chainplate covers the 2 inches that they will
come up and dig, clean, rebed etc?

and What did you use for sealant?

Tom, if you want to ask questions about a specific problem you'll need to
give ACTUAL details.

And spare us the 'privacy on the internet' paranoia.

On my old 27 footer I used a polysulfide caulk for a sealant. However, the
problem was that after sailing the boat for a short while it would work and
there would be enough of a gap between the sealant and the chainplate for
water to get in. It seemed like a never-ending battle.

On my C30 I had a bit of a leak with one of the chainplates but this time
used butyl tape. This stuff stays pliable pretty much indefinitely and I've
had no reoccurrance of the leak--so far. Of course, it's a different boat so
the comparison is not exactly "scientific."

I'd give the butyl tape a try and see if that takes care of it for you. You
could always go with the polysulfide caulk later. I'd avoid silicone as it's
difficult to remove later, and at some point you will need to remove it.

Well... If I had the habbit of spewing race/religion hate jokes of the
kind Wentworth made on the occasion of the wreck of the he M/V al-Salam
Boccaccio 98 this year, I wouldn't want the whereabouts of my plastic
float to be known either.
Let's see: 1000 dead, that leaves at least 20,000 immediate family who
could really take these jokes the wrong way.
Or maybe he is just afraid someone might try to sell him Viagra or
small caps stocks. :)
