[QUOTE="surfman, post: 427076, member: 7404"] I predrilled the wood decking and then used a drill to start the screw into the aluminum but I then would hand tighten them down in the wood, as mentioned above, very easy to strip aluminum bracing. I have found that even a plain sheet metal SS screw will self tap into the aluminum with a little pressure, no need for a self tapping screw. But if you drill a small starter hole it is a lot easier to get the screw started. [/QUOTE]
