Hey guys, I'm new to the group (and the boat too i suppose, I've been the proud owner of my C27 'Joy' for just over 6 months) and have recently encountered some problems after a coastal cruise from SF to monterey and back. Getting caught in some tough wind heading back north the deck fitting for the port front lower shroud pulled right out of the deck (we made it back ok, but i know understand why one should own a dodger). I have all the pieces, and I just wanted to know if anyone knew the best way to reattach this mounting. I was thinking simply epoxy (105) and remounting the hardware and screws (being sure to look over all the other deck fittings).
I'm worried, however, that the source of the problem is somewhat deeper (no visible force or stress could be seen on any of the mounting or deck glass). is there anything else I should be aware of? Also, I have noticed that all the deadlights have a slight leak now when raining (what I assume is a result of the hull contorting enough to break the seals around them all). whats the best way to remove these and re set them and how much time should I set aside. Thanks for the help and its really great to see such a great network for a great boat. Loren
