E35-2 Original Construction Re: Chainplates

finally got enough courage to remove trimwork to expose my main chainplates. Expected to find rotten wood (as most of the bulkhead, port, is rotten at top) but was surprised to find both port and stbd chainplates firmly bolted to 1" of glass tabbed to hull sides. WOW. I was wondering if this was an aftermarket repair/upgrade, or is this construction from the factory?

That sounds like original, although it is hard to tell without seeing it.
Dig around inside the bolt holes, to assess for any wetness. I recommend leaving the covers off, to allow any further leakage to escape - chainplates are not unsightly in a sailboat.
