New shroud brackets

As part of the re-bedding project I discovered that the starboard shroud connection bracket holes drilled through the deck were huge and double drilled!

These were filled with epoxy after the holes were "cleaned" and then re-drilled.

Original holes, looks like an OEM production mistake! I'm glad I found this. The aluminum corrosion and pitting was incredible on the other side.

I also decided to replace the brackets. The new ones area 1/4" wider and now 4"x4" not 3"x4". I got the new ones from on on line metal shop for less than ten bucks ! I also ordered a set at 3"x4" but a bit wider like the original, I'm not going to use them so if anyone wants them PM me.

Installed

thats one off of the list!

Nice and shiny!

What online metal shop did you use, Mariner?

a little bit of sanding the cut edges, filing the corners and some "brasso" does wonders!

I used:
www.speedymetals.com

they were fast and the prices are great.
