My 30-2 has the welded top plate as well. I bit the bullet and
removed the chain plates and rebedded last year. On my boat, there is just no
place to put sealant on that joint where it will actually seal anything.
Even having to drill out one of the bolts, it was not a terrible job. On mine,
the plates bolt to the fiberglass behind the settee cushion. One of the PO’s
had cut access panels so you could actually get to the nuts. A couple of hour
job. I sealed with butyl and have had no issues.

Dave,
I think the word you are looking for is ARGH!
Sorry I couldn’t be more help. It looks like C&C did the chain plate
differently depending on the year & model.

Neil,
Those are great informative videos but unfortunately they don’t address the
problem that both I and Chuck had/have. In both of those videos the top plate
can be unbolted and lifted of, allowing access to the cut-outf. On our boats,
that top plate is welded to, in my case, a massive single chainplate oriented
in a fore-and-aft plane. The only way to get under that plate in order to fill
the cut-out is to remove/lift the entire chainplate.
And the most egregious error is that they didn’t use butyl! ;-)
Cheers,
Dave Godwin

Chuck and fellow listers,
Here is a YouTube video showing the re-bedding chain plates on an Island Packet
that is quite detailed and shows some good information that is not specific to
Island Packet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L-hf5607AI&t=6s
Here is on with a C&C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvpq_AA85N4 (starts
around a minute in).
Sincerely,

Subject: Stus-List Sealing Chainplates
What's the best way to seal leaky chainplates at the deck. The boats built
after 1988 have a welded flange that makes it hard to get caulk inside the
joint without removing the whole assembly.
