I recently removed the fittings that secure the lower stays to the deck of my Hunter 310. The fitting goes through the deck and is secured by a backing plate and bolt on thr inside. A photo of the exterior and interior are attached.
When I removed the fitting I noticed that the fiberglass tube shown in the attached drawing (provided by Hunter) was missing. You can see this in the photo taken looking up the thru deck hole. I now have a fiberglass tube matching the Hunter spec but am wondering if it should be permanently glued in (3M 5200) or should be allowed to float (unglued). As this attachment supports the full load of the inner stays I would be grateful of suggestions as to which is best.
Thanks
Tim
