I think I found the problem. I cant believe that it only has a single 8mm stud and tiny backing washer through the deck! Nuts were loose and enough slop in the holes to allow any deck water to pour in! Have refitted with sealant under flange and will add some decent backing pads.

Lol told you it was rubbish ;) that'll make you think twice about using it for those 'Titanic Moments' too! Seriously though it is a real weak point on the boat and it's not unusual for them to simply break off. At some point I am going to get the forecabin headlining down and have a good check of mine too.

On my Hanse I had to remove the pulpit because the front stud broke. I found that the 2 side studs had 10mm nuts fitted over 8mm studding & someone had just placed a load of sikaflex over the stud & slid the nut on instead of fitting with the correct size nuts

I am thinking of removing the whole pulpit and cutting off the 8mm studs and drilling out to accept a 10mm tap. I can then use a 10mm bolt from under deck in the forecabin. A hex Cap head would be best as there is not much clearance for a socket if you dont want to remove the plastic headlining. The front mount is a bit suspect there cant be much thickness of metal as the tube is externally tapped 10mm but has the nav light cable running inside it. It might be better to run the cable to a deck gland and cable tied externally to the pulpit. The front mount can then be treated to a decent 10 or even 12mm bolt. Steve.

I went prepared with a 17mm socket for removing the pulpit! The design of the pulpit is pretty poor. I expect it was mainly held in place by the tension in the guard wires and the front mount! Steve

The threaded part on the front leg is actually a welded piece with a washer between the thread & the post
If you removed the stud on the side posts you would find that you only have 4mm ( possibly 6mm) to tap into because that consists of a small round plate welded on the bottom of the tube When my front post broke I drilled a hole in the top of the post & passed an 8mm stainless steel studding right down the whole post with a large washer & nut at the bottom & a nut & small washer at the top by the wooden step The wire now comes out via a deck gland |

I had sea water under the port salon bunk and also on the floor of the saloon, plus damp cushions in the forward cabin.
I now have dry cushions, under port bunk in the saloon, plus a dry floor. The reasons for me were two points...- damp cushions and water under port bunk... - in the anchor/ chain locker in the the bow. There is a stainless steel plate that I think is used to fix a windlass to, but I'm not sure....this was no longer tight and was no longer creating a seal... So I find with sikaflex and tightened the nuts up. Water in the cabin - I found the anti syphon for the toilet was not working and water when on starboard tack filled up the toilet and over flowed and out into the saloon. So I now turn of the seacock for the bowl... I now have a dry boat, but have not tried it in a blow yet... |
