suggestion and question
This may be a rediculous suggestion coupled with a dumb question, but what about simply molding up a fiberglass fairing block from the one that is there now. I did that a while ago and have not had to worry about the fairing block again. The original block was wood from original manufacture. That is my suggestion.
My question to the gurus here is....is what I have done over the years a wise thing.....I have replaced almost some of the wood mounting blocks and spacers both inside and outside the hull with fiberglass molded parts copied off the original wood ones. I have changed the transducer fairing block, strut spacer/fairing block outside and laid up a fiberglass replacement for the wood backing block inside the hull where the strut attaches. I have not had need to change out the wood block at the rudder post inside the hull, but have thought about it and it is in the "plan". Have I done something wrong by the replacement of these parts?
