One of the screws holding down my cabin sole has broken and the sole is lifting up. Starboard side corner section just aft of the bilge area. That corner lifts up.
So I thought I would take out the entire starboard side sole and see if I can remove that broken screw. But already stripped two of the screw heads on the remaining screws so don't think that is going to happen.
The sole will push down flat/level but need a screw to hold it down. Anyone see an issue if I drill a second hole and put in a new screw in that corner very close to the original (broken) screw? Looks like that screw goes into a bulkhead/stringer (not sure what those fiberglass cross braces are called).
Appreciate any thoughts/comments/advice/feedback.
Cheers,
Jim
