How can we fix this?? - 05/28/14 08:00 AM
In the past years we've done quite a bit of repairs and adjustments to our cat. However this time we realy do not have a clue how to fix this.
The connection of the dolphin striker to the beam is made by two bolts(?) One of them is broken or pulled back in the beam. We can still see it, as the top of it is still in the hole. It doesn't look recently broken, or the cut is really flat. From the side entrance of the beam to the connection spot seems very far, and not realistic to reach??
As we have the feling that we're sailing already some time with this, my questions would be:
- What would happen if the other connection would fail?
- Is there a manner to fix this?
Below you'll find some pictures, One from the side which still is ok, and two from the described side. I must admit that on photograph it looks worse than in reality.
