Hanse 400 2011 : We are about to embark on reducing the clutch size on the main halyard down to 6-10mm as discussed above. When we started dismantling (5 clutches) in situ, there were 2 large Philips head screws/bolts holding the first unit to the deck. They turned easily. All the videos show a complete unit in a workshop - not on the boat.
My question is - can we unscrew these bolts without the nuts falling off below deck - or is the nut fixed in place? We don't want to undo the top bulkhead in the stern cabin. |

You most likely have an aluminum backing plate with tapped holes bedded in the fibreglass, though I can’t say for sure if that was the case for 2011 production year. In my case I did remove the ceiling panel in the aft cabin because I also installed a horn cleat to back up the clutch and prevent any slipping under load that will abrade the line. I didn’t downsize the clutch but replaced aluminum cam and base with ceramic parts - these hold my 10mm warpspeed line fine under the initial tension and the horn cleat ensures the halyard doesn’t move with wind loading.
