Traveller Re-bedding


I've been doing some more work on the boat starting with rebedding the traveller onto a new Starboard spacer 2" wide X 1" thick X 4' 11 7/8".
The 1/2" thick old teak spacer had split along the bolt holes and was leaking. All 16 fasteners were replaced and the whole spacer was sealed with "Through the Roof " made by Sashco. It's a non-hardening butyl sealer that is puported to last well in sunlight. I've previously used this to seal the cabin port lights and chain plates and we'll see how it lasts in the FL sun.
