I recently purchased an older capri 14 (1989) One of the screws is broken that holds the centerboard pivot bracket on the starboard side.

Does this machine screw go into aan embedded nut or is ther a plate in there that receives both mounting screws. This will help me determine how to repair this.

Take one of the others out and you'll probably have your answer. I would just about bet it's just like a wood screw.

Actually the screws are stainless steel machine screws. I did take the other three out so I could remove the centerboard. that is how i found the broken one.

I bet it's a piece of brass maybe molded into the hull when they lay it up? C-22's have a section of brass on the back of the deck. Try giving the factory a call, they should know for sure.

Any idea which modle you have? I have a mod1 and could take a look at mine when I get a chance? Which part of the keel is it? Do you have a picture.
