The kit includes new, stronger u-bolts as well as improved angled extruded aluminum backing plates. Additional angled plates are included to better secure and stabilize the connection between the interior knees an the deck. Finally, two trim pieces are included. A white trim is used for the backing plate in the head compartment. A teak trim is used for the backing plate visible from the main cabin.

In 1979 the 3/8" eyebolts were updated to a 1/2" eye bolt and included the angled backing plates but this interim configuration was still found to be wanting.

If your Catalina 30 was built after 1984 then it will most likely have the these style chainplates already installed on the boat.

1) Over time, different lower shroud chainplate eyebolt configurations were used on the Catalina 30. In some cases it may be necessary to fill holes in the deck and redrill to match the hole pattern required for the new configuration. If you don't already have an appropriate filler in your boat maintenance kit we offer the epoxy kit below under "Required and Related Products for your convenience.
