Hull deck plates  Bottom

  • Two questions about hull deck plates:
    Can they be removed to have access to the inside walls, e.g when installing backing plates for connectors to a front tramp.

    The antiglide surface; how to retain this when sanding and repainting?

    Thanks,
    Dan
  • Are you asking about the factory deck or round deck plates like these?

  • Sorry, forgot to say I'm talking about a P18-2; the deck of the hulls with the textured surface, not the round deck plates. The latter are easy to replace.

  • Yes they can, go to www.catsailor.com and search Prindle 19, there is a person going through the process now and he has posted some photos. I also recall other posts there about thye same subject
  • Here's a great article in Hobie Hotlines that details a process using a silicone mold to retexture a repaired deck. Check it out!

  • Thanks I can't find it on www.catsailor.com though, tried the search function too. Where am I supposed to look?
  • Open forum page 8 "tell me about the Prindle 19" by turbo cat. You will have to join catsailor to view any pictures. It is a free site with tons of great information. You can ask any cat related questions and will responses from the best cat sailors in the world.
  • removal of the entire deck lid for a single point of access might be discouraged. you are looking at scraping apart the joint of the lid from the hulls (with a screw driver or chisel) and HOPING not to do damage that will need repair.

    It is do-able but i would think a simple 4" or 5 (or 6) port would be much less drama, work etc. Not to mention it will then offer you storage.

    I had 2 ports that i used to access my front hulls to add a simple eyestrap (with backing plate) for my front tramp tiedown.


    This is the inside of a Mystere 6.0. (deck lid) and chain plate. i wouldn't want to remove that.

  • You rang?

    I will be posting more pictures tonight. I got my modded decks in from performance and will post up some pics. I used a putty knife and a hammer! very carefully.

    The thread should be up top on the forum tonight after i update it.
  • as per the texture... there are textured paints, non-slip additives and/or ACE sells white texture in a spray can. works well...
