With the companionway slide complete and ready for installation, it was time to fit the drop board retainers.
First I test fitted the retainers to make sure everything was the right way round and fitted properly.
Here they are, temporarily fastened in place.
I also test fitted the slide and the drop boards, for the same reasons. Here they are.
All was well and looking very nice indeed!
I decided to apply the sealant to the cabin wall, and taped to prevent too much mess from squeeze out.
Here is the port side, ready to go.
Plenty of sealant was applied and both retainers were soon in place. Looking like this.
I'm pleased with how they turned out.
Excess sealant was removed from the inner slot with thin wooden spatulas fashioned from ice cream scoops. This is them.
They worked really well, with plenty of methylated spirits to wipe off the remainder.
Another task ticked off the list...
