Air Breeze wind generator strut brackets installed - 2012

January 2012 - At Marina Kona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA

Aft mount for the Air Breeze wind generator pole brace.

The Air Breeze wind generator got some more work done on it. We finished off the strut brackets.
The one aft one we got the final lag bolt in it after finding a shorter one at Home Depot. We then found the correct angle and re-drilled the holes for the port side mount. The it was the usual drill (pun) of cleaning and 3M 4000 UV Marine Adhesive and attaching the stainless steel fasteners. We toyed with plastic washers then stainless steel washers then the screw. This seemed a bit much and we think the plastic washers would crack over time. We decide that the 3M 4000 UV Marine Adhesive  between the screws and the galvanized steel plate would work for the dissimilar metals protection.

All the hard ware is still temporally mounted. We will finish it off with lock nuts as provided when done.

This meant a trip back into the lazarett for Debbie. 

She had to get past the ex host hose where it does a loop and up under the coming to attach the wash, lock washer and then nut. Once in place she held them while I screwed in the fastener.

Cleaned up.
