[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 152045, member: 55"] You must not be doing them right. With the correct size pilot hole, you can get every last one in without snapping the first, and they will hold like grim death. The first one will do such a fine job cutting the threads that they can then be backed out and reinstalled numerous times, and after the first, they will thread in as smoothly as a machine screw. Please don't do this. Or, if you do, make sure that no matter what, the boat will absolutely, positively, never end up in Bassboy's hands. Lets just say that if there were voodoo dolls for previous owners of some of the boats I've owned/worked on (and because I bid by the job, those usually end up costing me), the world would be short a few people. :oops: :shock: As was said, pressure treated wood from back in the day was no issue. Pressure treated wood now is. [/QUOTE]
