[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 437382, member: 13599"] I would do it just try to seal the new holes in the wood with epoxy or something with a brush small enough to get into the holes. (drill the holes a bit larger than needed - then seal). even though it is above the waterline, rainwater will find its way into unprotected wood. edit: even if the holes in the wood panel are oversized, with just epoxy protection, with the repeated installing and removing the bolts, the threads "[i]could[/i]" remove the epoxy coating thus opening the wood up to water/moisture infiltration. so the plastic bushing makes sense. It would make more sense if you could remove the wood transom panel and use DaleH's method to drill a 1" hole and fill with epoxy - - - re-install the panel and then drill the holes. bushings would not be needed - the oversized epoxy "plug" would be the protection for the wood. .
