Agree with all you and Neil said except re-installing the little strip at the forward end. Personally, I'd epoxy it from underneath or fasten a small piece of wood under the opening and bond the peice to it. FYI, mine has a small piece of wood bonded on the underside for the bilge plate screw to

Steven, Pretty sure you don't risk having the keel fall off without the forward bolt, as I said I have plans that show only the six larger bolts.  I'll try to get a scan of the large print to put on a Google drive.  Appears to me an after the fact addition to address the smile. My mast

I'm using the anchor crimper. There are probably others. Just about any ratcheting crimper will work, it it is adjustable. Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah C & C Landfall 39Port Orchard Yacht Club +1 253-208-1412 WhatsApp+52 669-267-4740 phone Original message From: Joel

3M is highly regarded, you can get them in heat shrink with adhesive, which is the gold standard as far as I know. https://www.3mcanada.ca/3M/en_CA/p/d/v000195661/ On Sun, Oct 30, 2022 at 11:06 AM Joel Delamirande via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > What brand or how do I recognize

To avoid problems of wires falling off of terminals.  I use high quality crimp connectors. Try to avoid the spade connector.  I also use the heat shrink type in all wet and engine room connections.  I also use a quality crimping tool.  Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah C & C Landfall 39Port Orchard

I can sympathize with you Dave, which I will elaborate on. As far as your situation, it seems like They should be eye terminals. Probably with an elastic stopnut on the solenoid. In fact, I think nearly all terminals on boats should be eyes and not spades due to the problem you just mentioned of
