ive desided to put in a deck plate by the db slot but if I do find a problem with the step will I be able to reach it ?
If you want to put a inspection port in any and you don't want to put it in the deck put it next to the centerboard trunk and you will be able to inspect the mast step from there and see if you need to make any further repairs.its not to worn the the little nob thing is still there and im not all about puting the plate on the deck around there because to me its ugly and it would be hard to get to because i want one with a bag. after every sail i do a drain so no water
thanks thats were ill install one on the centerline
thanks ill post picks of the step once i put the step in anound this weekend.
Put the port anywhere you like. I know one guy put a port below the waterline. Haven't seen him around much lately but he made a nice job of it.
