Hello fellow Potter 15ers:
Why don't you consider building up the curve on the coach roof to flat
instead of cutting down the teak rails? This would allow the hatch slide to
run in a flat chase. It may very well bind as bad with a curved teak rail as
with the old 'form fit' aluminum one. I haven't gotten Sukoshi out from under
her tarp yet this year, but will be considering making delrin slides <the
black plastic Harken uses for their block cheeks/shieves/bearings> to replace
the aluminum and figuring out the proper handling of the curved coachroof and
the flat <but now worn after 20 years> hatch. Do the newer boats have a flat
area formed in the fibreglass of the deck mold to minimize this or is there
just more slop in the chase?
