Hello All,
I am about to construct an awning over my cockpit
Here is my question:
Since I found very inexpensive turnbuckles in galvanized steel, and these
will be attached to an aluminum 2 inch "channel" extending up from the toe
rail. behind the pushpit rail (stainless steel), and then attached to the
backstay via low-stretch rigging line (3/8 inch) I was wondering how long I
might reasonably expect this set-up to last before it all comes crashing
down on my head?
Should I coat everything with Boeshield? Lanolin? Just monitor?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Eric Thompson
Eric,
I used SS and also alum "tent Poles" to build an awning over my cockpit,
CHB45 P/H back in the 80's and they are doing just fine today. Extremely
versatile and effective.
