Stop the galley rocking????

Post by James V »

When I am using the Galley it is rocking port to starboard when I am preparing the meal. What what are the ways to stop that?

Go above deck with your Barrett .50 and nail the boat generating the wake.

It is not the other boats rocking the galley, it is me working in it. Cutting, cooking preps, cooking and cleaning. As well as leaning on it for a hand hold. Is there a prefered shim or someother method to keep it from moving?
What do you use to slove the problem?
Is there something missing from the factory? (it is a new boat)

Is the whole boat rocking or just the galley itself?

I have an 05M and my galley seems relatively well secured... Although, we don't use it much...

I'd make sure the thing is riding the tracks properly. It could very well have come off the track either in shipment or just not been assembled properly...

It indeed sounds like a cabinet drawer that is riding on top of its track, rather than being engaged with it.

Stop the galley rocking

Post by Versasail »

Mine did the same thing. The reason is there are only three mount points. I stopped mine from rocking by cutting a small foam wedge and sliding it under the corner when in use. The foam I used is a type they use for packing its usualy green and is firm and dosen't crumble. If yoo can't find any drop me an email and I'll send you a piece.
