Damaged P bracket

[Lloydellis]

I caught a rope in the summer and thought it was dealt with by my rope cutter.

I partially was but I have pulled the boat out now and have been able to inspect further. The part that was fixed to the p bracket has been ripped out leaving a tear in the brass.

Is this possible to be repaired or do I need to replace the p bracket?

Image shows damage. Last image shows the starboard p bracket as an example of bit that has been ripped out of the starboard engine

Suggest you talk to Robin Shaw here ropestripper.com as it may be possible to fit another block on the other side of the P bracket. Send him your photos. He designed and makes the cutter.

I hadn't even thought of that! thank you.

Fitting a new block would not be worth an insurance claim. The fact that it pulled out probably means that there is no damage to the P bracket itself nor the fastening to the hull, but best to check anyway particularly inside. Replacing a P bracket is definitely an insurance job!

Awesome. Will do!
