Galvanic corrosion can be mitigated. Select stainless steel alloys with similar electrode potentials to bronze, such as 316L or 317L are less reactive. Glad you got a countersink to give your dental tools a break.

The only fasteners I was able to get in time were 18-8 so Tef-gel to the rescue!

External chain plates, Herb, what a wonderful idea..! My wife and I will attempt to refit a 1977 Macgregor Venture 25. Chain plates are through the deck, therefore constant rainwater drip inside. I thought of putting the chain plates on the outside but wasn't sure, and you gave us the inspiration..! Thanks a lot..!

Great job Herb. I bent mine by heating to red hot in charcoal bbq fire then clamped short end to a heavy piece if steel. Thel pulled the long end to the proper angle. Heat prevents possible breakage. I really like your creativity.

They hadn’t been work hardened since they were cast so I thought to try it cold first. Heating was by backup plan!

Basic problems, basic answers. I have a friend who made his out of Titanium. When he got to Tonga (he was visiting San Diego and had them made m, wouldn't you know the angles of the holes (something like that ) were a little off and he could not find anyone who could drill or work with Titanium, Bronze should be easier to work with than stainless and definitely easier than Titanium . Some of the guys used amazing riggers and owners of the largest rigging companies in the world, and they made so awesome videos. They are all in my sailing rigging ect playlist and this one will be in there also. That said, the stainless bolts will corrode or fail inside where you can't see the problem. It takes quite a while but I think replacement of the bolts should be a , say, 5 year event ? What do you think ?

Rise over run. I used that exclusively when building my ten foot scow. All my beveled joints were calculated thst way as well as the slope of the yard.

I'm surprised you're not bedding in your chain plates with butyl tape. Really seems like the best way to do it. Give a nice chamfer with the countersink and you have a wedge of rubber sealing against water.

I was planning on it, but it would have been my first time using it and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to experiment on the chainplate bolts as opposed to going with what I know to work. So I fell back to plain polyurethane sealant.

You will find as you use them, new harbor freight tools are much better than the old crap. Get their high-end stuff and it's comparable to Craftsman.

Looks great and fantastic job , but painting the deck every years doesn’t that cause a real build up and a problem for cracks, chips and some disbanding of the paint ??

Nice bend technique…. Curious what kinda torque those bolts need? Those cheap torque wrenches are actually pretty good. The difference in accuracy between expensive torque wrench generally negligible.
