Thats what I'm thinking, the screws or bolts to the backstay plate for
sure.
You can see the same rust on most 35s5's...Must be cheap french steel.

High quality French steel from melted down rifles.

Dropped once but never fired.

Amen!

Commode Joe

I really don't know! It's about 2.5" in diameter and it is covered
with a
ubber seal. I put a bit of grease into it every couple of years, and
it
doesn't leak. A few years ago it dripped for a while.


Dripless seal as on my boat. Both surveyors called it very reliable and
told me not to mess with it. My bilges are dry and clean...I mean
snow-white clean!

I should take a photo of my bilge for Joe! It is pure white!

I can imagine that Joe's bilge is a pool of rust coloured liquid.

You would be wrong, not long ago I had to replace my water tanks. That
allowed me access and time to put a new haze gray epoxy coat of paint.
Dry as a bone and so clean you could eat off em!
