I have just finished re-coring my entire deck and about 1/2 of the cabin top. Depending on where the fitting is placed you either have a core between two layers of fiberglass of balsa or marine grade plywood in that area. A simple fix is to inject epoxy and drill a pilot hole for the screws. You may have to inject it several times if it is balsa before you have a substantial base to work with. Be sure and use caulk before you mount the fitting. If done properly that should last you for a long time unless your balsa is all rotted out like mine was!

We all like to know who we are communicating with and your hull number!

I am getting minor leaking on the starboard side at the quarter berth. One of the spots appeared to be where a bimini was attached (not thru bolted) when I stick a toothpick in the hole it feels like there may be a liner at that point is this possible?
