Thanks Brion,
I posted this same question over on Sailnet to see what responses I would get. Almost all are asking what the surveyor was thinking requiring removal and inspection of the plates. If you can give me a yay or a nay on the plates I will send them over to you to inspect. It might be a couple of weeks, they are unbolted but I have to wait until the boat is under cover before taking them out. I read the other posts on chainplates here before posting and bronze was recommended (mine are stainless), would this be your recommendation if they need to be replaced? I did not take the bow fitting off as it is fairly massive and part of the whole anchor roller assembly, does this need to come off and be inspected as well (pin fits tight)?
Thanks very much, John
