[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 500716, member: 15636"] Ditto the above, but also add some type of polysulfidimid adhesive like BoatLife ’Life Caulk’. However, is there any chance you could put ’riv-nuts’ where the screw holes are? Can you get access to those areas? I’ve had about a half dozen Lunds in my life so far, 14’-18’, and never had a piece vibrate loose, so [B]what[/B] pieces and [B]where[/B] are you talking about? Pictures? Personally … I never use a screw if I can through-bolt or use a riv-nut or some other type of fastener, like a ‘Toggler’ on the backside of the bearing material. ‘Togglers’ are a special/unique, strong and [B]permanent[/B] SS toggle bolt, plus the piece secured is also completely removable, as the toggle bolt ‘nut’ part stays affixed in place. They are not cheap, but we you really need one, they are a [B][I]fantastic option[/I][/B] for where you can’t get to the backside of the bearing material or bulkhead. [/QUOTE]
