This might be the stupid question of the month. I am rebuilding a typhoon. There are wooden disks that cover the access hole to the chainplates. What holds these in? The boat had a plumbers caulk on the wooden disks to hold them in. Is this correct? Next question. What does the cover to the bilge hole look like. Is it also a wooden disk or a square piece of wood.
Told you it was stupid but I wanted to go back as close to original as I can.

Typhoon interior teak
Hi Mike:
On my '74 Typhoon Weekender, I have a square teak piece, with a thumb hole, covering the bilge access. The two teak chainplate access covers, after refinishing with Cetol, were fixed with a thin bead of 3M 4200.

plumber's caulk
Hi guys, Peter you may be right to use a bit of 4200 but I believe the plumber's caulk is original. I always thought it was a funny way to hold in the covers. It does seem to work and is fairly easy to remove and even replace with the same old caulk. I used a few dabs of 4200. The bildge cover is a square of 3/4" teak with the edges rounded over including the lifting hole which is about 3/4" centered in the piece. I still want to get a look at Wharf Rat on of these days. Only a beautifully maintained boat could get away with a name like that. Happy sailing, Steve.
