I believe the cill mark is based on the end of the curved brick ledge in any case, which is always clear of the bumper.Herbie Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159526146136750929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-87466605417943877912017-10-21T22:35:30.119+00:002017-10-21T22:35:30.119+00:00Always good to see how these things get done - I o...Always good to see how these things get done - I often wonder about the actual way things are hoisted/shoved into place.<br />One question in two parts:<br />* did the cill marker still reflect where a descending boat needs to keep forward of?<br />* and if not, did they paint a new cill marker?<br /><br />OK it's two questions! And the reason I ask is that friends of ours in their 70 footer got their rudder caught in a lock where the bar had been fitted but the cill marker wasn't adjusted...<br /><br />Cheers, Marilyn (nb Waka Huia)Marilyn, nb Waka Huiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485346080040799974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-7342307482367807772017-10-21T09:07:08.485+00:002017-10-21T09:07:08.485+00:00Thanks for this, Neil.
