New Swim Platform
Last time we had just gotten thru installing trim tabs...posed a problem w/the swim platform...when dismantling there's always one bolt that won't come out...
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform002.jpg Drilled a small slot in the edge, just enough to stop it... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform001.jpg That done I figured the best way to go was to reinstall the frame... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform001.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform008.jpg Here's the raw piece...gonna take a little whittlin'... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform011.jpg Got the 3 pieces cut, now clearance for the tab-cylinder... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform011.jpg Line up the 3 pieces... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform037.jpg Startin' to take shape... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform038.jpg OK...after several passes w/the router (3 different bits) and some screw-holes...bolt on the side handle on the right to help the old fat-boy outta the water... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform041.jpg She's DONE...Starboard to the rescue again... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...latform044.jpg OK...ready to haul it down to Sunset Beach tomorrow for Spring Break...hope for some pics to share w/you guys when we get back... RB...you gonna be down that neck of the woods any next week?... Sorry about double posting some of the pics...will try to do better next time...thought about it, but decided against reaming out a slot in the original, so found this piece of 1" Starboard left over from a recent project... |

Wilson, I guess you've discovered the ramp under the OI bridge...but as far as where to dock for a week or so, I can't think of anyplace...I always pull it out or tie up at the dock where we stay, so I've never needed dockage...if RB doesn't have answer, Google Marinas in Holden Beach and OI...the only one I can think of closed last year... Good luck... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90.../IMGP08892.jpg |
