Mounting pad for replacing a Progress 1 with the Project 1000 windlass.
Made of a rigid, durable Starboard material. This pad is 1/4” thick and 7/8” larger in diameter than the new Project 1000 windlass. Typically, the old windlass will have compressed the deck in places, leaving a permanent depression, so the Starboard pad covers not only the old footprint but also any unsightly marks left behind from the Progress 1 windlass. The Starboard deck pad’s outline mirrors the shape of the new windlass and is pre-drilled for the cutouts of the Project 1000.
In addition, on the underside of the pad, about 1/4” inch from the edge, there is a channel about 1/8” deep and ¼” wide to lay a bead of white silicone caulk. This trench prevents the caulk from squeezing out when the studs are tightened and it seals the pad and the new windlass to the deck. |
