tight but for one is do able. I think you and I may have talked
seems like you had some left over balsa? --- In

Dear Sir,

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

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?
