[QUOTE="nomowork, post: 206309, member: 6029"] I just did the same thing. Went to Lowes and bought some 10-24 1/2" stainless screws with locking nuts. Installed them with 3M 5200, tightened them down and ground off the excess screw threads. I did this to all the stuff I took off the hull. I never did anything like this but when taking off the old screws, apparently the previous owner did the same thing and I couldn't even take the nuts off of the screws. I had to use a Dremel and cut off twenty something screws! Even after sitting for 20 years, I could still see the white 5200 in the old bolt threads! [/QUOTE]
