Bruce: That is the standard floatation foam. If they have become soiled you can remove and sail boat without it replace with the same polystyrene. Are they obviously dirty? Interesting the foam smells as my '84 M15's were good as new (besides smelling like polystyrene). :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com On Tue, Sep 4, 2018, 8:40 AM Bruce Chmieleski <chmieleski@sbcglobal.net> wrote:
Hi Folks,
I am now a M15 owner (1986 #365) and have been going about cleaning, replacing, etc. There are double-fist-sized chunks of styrofoam crammed in the forward hatch and some larger pieces aft under the cockpit. Are these part of the normal floatation for this craft? They are a bit odorous so I would either replace or remove. Thanks for any helpful info for either solution on this topic.
