Hi All -
Upon returning home from an excursion to Tomales bay I saw that sometime during transport
the bobstay chainplate ripped/broke in half near the middle (where the upper U-bolt hole is). In retrospect I'm guess the proper procedure was probably loosen it substantially before trailering (or even pulling the boating onto the trailer with the winch - is that the case?). Anyway - does any have suggestions for the best way to handle a repair? It seems that replacement would required removal of
the front U-bolt which I can't imagine is a trivial operation. Since the U-bolt appears solid, is it reasonable to use some simpler means to attach to the bobstay?
many thanks...Tim
