[QUOTE="nomowork, post: 206367, member: 6029"] My Gregor had a loose bolt going through the tied downs and into the transom so decided to change it to a stainless steel bolt and locking nut. While at the store I bought four new bolts/nuts just in case. It was easy to change them as these were the only ones without some 5200 on them which I don't understand due to the exposure to water. Anyway, one of the four bolts had so much corrosion and rust where it rested inside of the wood transom that it would have snapped soon! I feel much better now. [/QUOTE]
