While waiting for my new fairlead collar, I decided to tackle a minor project of replacing flush mount ring pull in Soave’s head that was badly corroded.
Tip… minor rarely means minor on boats.
I don’t know if the same fixture is used in other Nonsuch boats but figured I’d share the approach I used and some of the caveats.
Abridged version… Found a near match on Amazon, replacement was a bit more effort than expected. If I were to do it again I would probably wait to the off season and enlarge the recess pocket so I could use a “true” marine grade pull.
I guess I still have that option… less the time spent futzing $16 spent on the cheap replacement.
Looks good right now. Original looks like chrome plated bronze. I think most hardware of this type came from Perko back in the day. Didn’t have Internet access to every part in the world, much less Amazon.
