Seafari now Non-Cabin door issue

[cSickNick]

Hi all,

Thanks for all that helped and hope this info will help others with the same issue of the cabin door frame cracking in the corners.

1st, the lower parts of the door frame are only screwed and puttied?. After the abuse, most screws were deciding to screw ... out that is So, i though the only way i am going to feel good is to thru-bolt. With a 3" piece of "L" aluminum, it is wide enough to catch some thru-bolts from under the inside hatches and hide under the cusions. And i added a piece of "C" channel under the foot rests to sandwitch it all together.
The putty all dried out and fell out, so i used 4200 to fill in the seam and gap.

Now around the panel guage area has all been removed over the years. Time to glass it back. Wedged a piece of luan in the opening below the surface and then added many layers of mat/epoxy tucked into the corner voids and flush with the surface. Then laid one piece of bi-axle under that wraps around the corner and down the frame on the inside.

Too lazy to bother to fair out the surface, so decided to just re-drill for guages and re-install starboard panel.

It has been put to the test the last few weekends and she is holding up very well.

Hope you get the picture after a few pictures ....

BTW; Does anyone know how to share pics in a folder thru Photobucket instead of attaching a stack of pics. Again just too lazy ...
