M15 Stem and hull liner construction questions
by Alex Conley 03 Jun '20

I’ve got two questions about the nature of the hull and hull liner of a 1986 m15: 1) what is inside the stem? Is simply a gap between hull, hull liner and deck, or is there some kind of core or structure within? I’m thinking it is a void, and any water entering through a an exterior crack at the deck/hull joint would run down that void and end up pooling up against the bulkhead under the v- berth (where the lump of ballast is in the older boats). Or is there some kind of filling or structure in there? 2) how is the Is the hull liner in the cabin bonded to the hull? Is there any kind of material between the two? I have a section of hull liner in the very bow that flexes as if it it is unattached to the hull, and am wondering if it matters enough to drill some holes and try to rebond it. Send an earlier email with no response, so am trying again as I really appreciate this groups insights and knowledge! Alex

I found that a down ball did not serve as I alo required the ability to reef. I installed a Schaeffer Marine 350. This is not rated for feeding but does well you can also consider Harken HAR434 On June 2, 2020, at 9:14 AM, Dave Scobie <scoobscobie(a)gmail.com> wrote: Jim: A downhaul on the M15's hank-on job is really good enough.
