Hey folks, My brackets for my swim platform on my 1980 SN have pulled loose. What is currently being used is lag bolts. The holes are now stripped and I am wondering what people have had the best results with repairing this. Can I fill the holes with some type of epoxy? Use larger lag bolts? I believe I read a while ago about using through bolts but it looks like I would have to pull my fuel tank to do that. I did a search but could not find any relevant posts. If anyone has any tips or links to previous topics that would be much appreciated |

| Soooo, after a little more investigation it looks like I can access the holes and use through bolts without removing my fuel tank. Anyone have any tips on how to keep them water tight or on this job in general? |

This old thread covers that situation in pretty good detail: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21230" rel="nofollow - http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21230 They're talking about a more modern (93 Sport) boat, but the principle should be the same. It looks like they say either 4200 or 5200 Epoxy? I'm not really familiar with this stuff, so read carefully. Hopefully others will weigh in. |

Brian, The 4200 and 5200 are both 3M products. They are a moisture cure polyurethane and not a two part epoxy. Both are excellent sealants as well as adhesives. They cure into a hard rubber like compound. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
