Just checked the position of my chainplates. The SB one is .75 to 1" further forward than the one on Port, depending on whether the mearsurements are taken from the stemhead fitting or to the transom.
The curious thing is that the chainplate is located at a spot where the deck has been reinforced by a bump that appears molded into the deck.
The stemhead is centered relative to the non-skip patters molded into the deck and the bow, and the meafurement to the transom I did by measuring to the crease in the deck, to have a consistent point of comparison (rather than the edge of the rubrail).
Did O'Day really manage to create a mold where crucial fittings are off by a whole inch. Yikes!
Is it just me, or are modern boats manufactured to tighter tolerances?
