DCP00297 Wooden pads with blocks (over and under)
The windvane quadrant being mounted in the down position, turning blocks for the control lines must be fastened to the hull by bolting them on plywood pads, then epoxying these pads to the hull. Note that the flat-head bolts are countersunk, inserted from the bottom with nuts on the top.
Note also beveled edges of pads to help bonding with fiberglass tape.
