I don't understand why they would even do such a thing considering there's no other material they could drive a brad into. Grinding the tops off flush sounds like the right…"
Mike Brown replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Peter, I've also lost the scupper covers. I installed rubber pipe insulation over each side of the bridle and it works well in keeping the bridle from rubbing on the covers. . They'll need to be replaced periodically as they'll get…"

sam replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Yep, I too have snapped a couple of the clam shell drain covers off. I have a couple of spares, but may or may not replace this time. The slack didn't seem to be the ultimate cause. Seems that wind/tide shifts and wake surge would cause the…"
Peter Obetz replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Sam, we are the essentially the same. Using the same mantus bridle as you.

Hi h, thanks for the reply.
Not on the site for quite awhile. I see others in the old group are not on much either.
I gotta get the boat out soon. I have been teaching art a lot, and busy on Facebook. I think everyone went to Facebook.
So are you at the new floating docks?
The song on your video is beautiful
Hey tell me..Ive been there...anything to get installed is a total boat tear up...I plan to sail it this summer messed up, and then get it back to livable space.
It sure was nice hearing from you h.
Hi H,
Thanks for your message last night I wasn't awake that late. I bought a boat around Thanksgiving time and am learning to sail on that boat. I took a few lessons from my friend, but I have crew that are also teaching me on my own boat. I just have to get my heat exchanger back on after a cleaning so I can go sailing again.
