[quote=MN3]i am guessing here, but they will most likely have a backing plate and bolts inside the hull. If the bolts are welded to the backing plate and simply stripped, tapping should do the trick. it is doubtful all threads stripped at the same time, and the bolts have dropped to the floor (inside hull) and some access port will be needed to get the bolt heads on the screws.
[quote=fleshped]I have what I believe to be a 1981 SC 17. Through marriage, divorce and raising my 15 year old son alone it's time to sail and he's ready. Ok TODAYS problem... While trying to screw in my shroud chain-plate to the hull, all three screws holes are seem to be stripped. I don't know how they attached inside so I don''t know what my options are. My first and least favorite thought is to create an access (cut out) on the inside of the hull and glass a plate. And ideas are appreciated.[/quote][/quote]
