Why not just use a fuel resistant gasket? If you are paranoid, add permatex to the gasket. If your ports are around 2-4" you should be able to find gaskets...
I'm happy to use anything that works. I haven't removed the inspection plates yet, so I don't know if there are gaskets. There is some kind of sealant that...
The centerboard cable broke while underway. I'm now in Boot Harbor Marahon, FL and need to get it fixed. Have temporary raised centerboard with ropes. Can...
This is bad news. I suppose there is a chance that you might be able to fix it in the water, but it depends upon where the cable parted. I suspect the break is...

It is my understanding that you can pretty much put them where you want as long as you avoid placing them close together or in line with each other or other...
Some rigs have the halyards coming right off the sheaves, without any exit plates. That would work for your spin, but would not be ideal for a storm sail. ...
