Title: Sail locker aft partition alteration
Post by: Ruvel on September 26, 2021, 07:04:10 PM
Hi Everyone,

I'm thinking about cutting and making the partition aft in the sail locker removable so I can have easy access to the rudder stuffing box, etc. It doesn't look like it serves any structural purpose but I'm wondering if anyone here would know better.

My partition is long gone and not missed. My rudder stuffing box is leaking a fair bit and getting in there to adjust is hard enough without the partition. Am considering reinstalling to better sound insulate the engine bay-but it would have to be removable so I can service the rudder packing.
