Thanks Bob. I do have taps like that for a blind hole. I simply picked up a cheap single and ground down the pointy end. It works fine. As for above, I'm not sure what you meant by "snug to the rid". Please elaborate.

Thanks fellas for your advise and words of wisdom (read encouragement). I think I'll try the threaded rod technique, since I have some on hand. As far as doing it right, my thoughts are as follows: First to drill out a pilot hole in the previous epoxy plug, tap with threads, wet out holes, mix...

Sunbeam, How did you bond the pre-formed fiberglass angle? Just thickened epoxy, or thichened epoxy, glass mat combo? What exactly was the fiberglass angle made of? I found this from grainger.com: http://www.grainger.com/category/fiberg ... alog/N-c15 It says it is fiberglass stock but made...

Thanks Sunbeam, Your suggestions are appreciated and I did think of those. Like joe, the bonded threaded rod with a nyloc nut on the back would get better purchase with the vibrational stresses that may loosen machine bolts treaded into an epoxy plug. I like the idea of bonding fiberglass...

I am now having to re-attach my cleats after having pulled out the screw downed method in favour of weldmounts. What I did was overdrill the screw holes and fill with thickened epoxy. In new undisturbed areas of the sole, I fastened weldmount treaded bolts and then drill new corresponding hole...

Nice rack Ray! Well done, you should patent. Taking orders?

Not very much, perhaps 6 inches.

It's a great rack, the vertical tubes hold the BarBQ up and out of the when not in use. Plenty of room under arch for tender or pots. I have not put kayaks up top yet but should be able to accommodate. With the lengthening daylight, today was the first day I started thinking about summer...

Sounds like a gathering of sorts... When are you planning to come up? Trailering or navigating?

I just installed my Radar Arch on my boat inside my garage. This spring I'll be able to pull the forward pin, lower the arch into cockpit and drive the rig out. No more taking the arch on and off to put her in the garage. The design also allows the arch to lay forward on the cabin roof by...

Thanks Pat. The garage looks as great as the new finish on yar boat.

Pat, How big is that garage of yours? What's the door opening size? Thanks!

Thanks Bob. I thought of that already and was hoping to get away from the backcut/epoxy plug technique. In reading West Systems manuals it refers to the epoxy plug as a technique to repair striped or oversized holes (as well as waterproofing the core). As for new holes, the basic technique...

Just to clarify, the top three holes do not go through where there is backing but rather into the cored deck area like in Sunbeams photo. The bottom three holes have access to the back and therefore can be through bolted. I would like to wet out the cored holes allow it to soak in, apply a...
