Default Re: cap/hull separation

Quote:
Just a statement of fact!

The Moesly 21 is riveted and then the entire hull inside is glassed to the cap. After 47 years and 2000 hours of engine time no separation.

If you use screws sooner or later they will back out.

I am sure Eddie has his reasons and will pipe in.
Terry's right. You can rivet, screw, or bolt, but if you also glass the cap and hull together: Happiness!
