Just saw this on another forum I frequent.

http://search.sailrite.com/?freeText=SNAD

Great idea if you ask me. A 268 I was serious about purchasing and had surveyed had quite a bit of moisture in the deck...most likely due to the bow sunpad snaps never been resealed or sealed at the factory properly. These would avoid that situation entirely...

These look very interesting. The website also looks like a great resource.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't see how they would fasten securely on non-skid but now you have me thinking about resealing my sunpad snaps.

It was quite a scary experience. Surveyor had the entire deck marked with yellow bits of tape to show where there were high moisture readings. Amazing the damage a drop of sealant could prevent!

You got me thinking the same thing. What kind of sealant would you use? 3200?
