Good questions to ask when I talk to a supplier and a good start for a supply.

New exterior chainplates... what choices do I have?
316L is the most economical choice.
Good suggestions. I'd add a couple of things
I gotta agree hunnerd percent with Dan. One caveat....
Mirror polishing enhances fatigue resistance
Stainless and bronze may have the same properties, size-wise...
Any chance.....
Let me look - I was trying to attach an image of it but without success...
More info...
Can you send it direct, off board?
Greg do you have a source of material?
I looked at....
There are a lot of different types of silicone bronze
THANKS D'Arcy
Gene, also just found....
BTW totally aside... Greg just saw a great bilge pump idea in GOB... 2003
Thanks, It has
Yeah my bilge is so deep that I barely reach the bottom...
Can you tell us the gist of it?
The short story
Thanks, Greg
It was that "teak thing" that I was contemplating...
Back when I made bronze chainplates for my boat project...
Opps misunderstanding there...
No difference in this app between 316 and 316L...
Titanium....
Expensive...
Price.....
forensic guess analysis
Great info....
Torque wrenches are cheaper than broken chainplates or overboard masts
Access is the issue...
I've heard about that.
The chainplates on my Tartan 26 project boat....
Of all the chainplate systems you see on modern boats ....
do you know of any pics of the arrangement you mean? Thanks!
No pics, sorry. You just have to visit a new Bene at a boat show
I felt the same way when I saw the config. Beautiful in it's simplicity.
