I have heard of some T-37's glassing over their boards. Anyone familiar with this one? I can see the pro's and con's on it, but I haven't talked to anyone who's done it yet to see if the trade-offs are worth it. I have taken mine off and re-worked the pad eye which the pendant is attatched, replacing it with two, thru bolted straps. I had to due this because of internal corrosion in the iron core. I also had to grind it down and put a new fiberglass skin over it. Those of you who do not inspect your stainless hinge assembly, you need to do so when you haul out next time, it it prone to pitting and corrosion because it is not bonded to any zincs. I drilled and tapped the hinge plate to accept a zinc just for this purpose. Tom
