Dodger Frame Repair

[gpd955]

Hello All,

Went to the boat the other day and found that the dodger frame had ripped from the cabin top on the starboard side of the boat. Either the wind did it or it finally gave way after being used as a support for people (family) climbing aboard (after being asked thousands of time not to :naughty.

I was able to put it back in the holes but they are now much to big for the screws. I am pulling the boat this month and now that is up there on the top of my to-do list.

Any suggestions as to the best way to get some integrity back to the cabin top so I can secure the frame properly and keep it watertight?

Thanks!

Over drill the holes, put in epoxy, redrill and reinstall the frame.

The upside is that you and your family are using the boat! A few loose screws and a few hours repair time is a good deal. :dance:
