Thank you Scott. I will look up Ebb's stuff.  I would post a few pictures but I'm not sure how

Novice here. Is the knee solid figerglass or is there an internal material made out of  I'm considering removing the shelf that is glassed to the knee on both sides and wonder if there would be structural issues.

I recently discovered ponding on the inside shelves on my CP#162 and believe I need to reseal the deck seam. Some of the shelving near the bulkhead is soft and needs replacing. My question is regarding the bulkheads that the chain plates mount to. First, what are they made of? Second, what is the inside rail beneath the shelves made of? and third, Do the bulkheads that the chain plates bolt to (that is glassed to the shelves) need to be glassed to the shelf for further strength or can the shelf be removed under it. (and add length to the bulkhead for added strength?

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks Bill.  Just to clarify, the engine laid down on the cabin sole?  Not sure what "with the head in the companion doorway" means?

Thanks for the offer! I'm not sure which method would be better.  Create a box and go to town or ebb's method of using the actual well to create the plug.  By the way I think it's worth asking Does anyone have a plug that I can buy? Also, I am wondering if my deep shaft outboard will fit in the stern locker when the plug is in and/or where do you put the outboard when using it?  I know I can find out when I unwrap the boat but just wondering what people do with their outboard when using the plug if it doesn't fit.  Seems like it wont.

Hi, I know this is an old thread but hopefully someone can answer.  I am interested in creating this plug. What is it made out of? How would I go about making one or even finding a used one?  Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the reply.  I just went to the Garhauer site and was pleasantly surprised that you can call them and talk about customizing the traveler system.  I have a 1965 Commander "Aurora" which has the same curvature where the traveler system sits and was concerned about bending the track.  Great information.  Thanks again.  I have had it with yanking on the car under load and lifting and resetting the manual stops LOL

Hi,
This is exactly what I would like to do with my traveler.  Can you give me a list of the parts that you used to make the system?  I currently have what I believe is the original traveler car.  
Thanks,
