Does someone know and can outline as to how the shroud chain-plates are fastened to the hull and how the hull is reinforced on a 2000 C250 WK

I've used an inspection camera and drilled small hole for access to inspect this area on different sailboat. I'd be interested if anyone has inspected theirs to see if this is an area of concern.

The chainplate support is used on all C250 wing-keel models and later water-ballast models.
The early water-ballast models had the chainplate at the deck/hull joint.

The is no inspection access plate.
Also, the drawing is slightly different from the C250 design.
If you look at the C250 photo, the top and the bottom of the tie-rod has a pin and “cotter key” design.
This leads me to believe the bottom fitting is mounted from the underside without any fasteners, but I can’t be sure.

It’s the same basic design, just slightly different delivery.
My 2005 water-ballast model has the same tie-rods as the wing-keel model.

Agreed, I learned a long time ago, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If it’s loose, but tightens up under load (mast heeling) also don’t fix it.

I would not cut into that unless you really really have to. That's structural. Be judicious with hole drilling.

Thank you David... this is excellent information. It's impressive that Catalina uses this same method on all (most?), of their larger production boats.

It seems, well, almost a little overdone on our 25foot boats. Since there is provision for adjustments at exposed connections there should be no need for an access opening providing nothing works its way loose.

Two observations
The arrangement passes through solid deck fiberglass
Point loads are spread over a wider reinforced section of the hull

I would say that the diagram David found is just how they are put together. The big question is how can you get to those nuts if ever needed. Is there an access panel anywhere?

A Google search came up with the following:

This is generic Catalina stuff. May or may not represent our boats, but I bet it is similar.

The included snapshot came from the following link:

The interesting thing is that no attachment shows on the outside of the hull nor any kind of chain plate or bolts from the inside of the coaming lockers.

Henk, I have wondered this myself but haven't taken the time to explore.

I don't know if the structure will be visible from the v-berth access or maybe from the settee access, but I will take a look this weekend with an endoscope to see if this area can be visualized.

My hull (#487) shouldn't be too different from yours.

Regards, Chris

Thanks for the info...



Anyone know how and where this rod is attached to?

There is a backing plate hidden under the gunnel and the plate screws through it. See web site, David
