Hey Bill
I see , or atleast it looks like, you just have the ring rod holders with the rotating nylon rings under the gunwales....by using them and removing (I assume you had the teak racks before) did the gunwales soften up on you?? see my post in repairs/mods ie. gunwales Scott

Re: Mr. Sirotnak's 1973 23 CC
Scott - I'm not getting any flex in the gunnels there, at least that I noticed last year.With the right angle of it, I would think flex would be diminished due to the 4" - 5" of that inboard vertical flat surface.My teak rod holders were pretty shot, those are some holders made here in Ct. by a company named Solo, I met Bob the owner and he got me a few to try.They have a soft foam inside with a v - cut and you squeeze and lift to open, they are good because they grip the rod so there is no rattling.

Re: Mr. Sirotnak's 1973 23 CC
Bill - I'm interested to get some more info on those rod holders ..does that company have a web site??
As far as the flex problem....it only has movement on the inboard side of the cap.....(as opposed to where the cap attaches to the hull, the outboard side its rock solid) so you could lift up on that 4" vertical surface(coaming) and it would deflect or move on you....I guess you could say it twists. If you stood on the gunwale that 4" vertical surface/coaming would deflect towards the inside of the hull. As of right now the deck cap gunwale/gunnel is not secured real good, as where it attaches to that vertical chase for the fuel line, the screws have really worn big holes where they go through the 4" vertical coaming and into the chase(time to break out the epoxy/glass). Does that make sense???? I know I'm starting to confuse myself now!!!! Scott
