You guys are thinking outside the (stuffing) box!
Lots of great feedback here, thanks very much. I'm going to try the low impact approach first to avoid any large issues. I'll try the shrink tape first since I have access to the good Raychem "nuclear" brand. I saw the Atomic Tape in Newport as well but thought, why would I ever need that (dooh)? Next will be the putty or even epoxy putty. The last thing I want to do now is start hauling on it with wrenches, cheaters and heat with no place go but down (the thought makes me pucker)! As for the insurance company, I have no "seasonal" limitations just geographical. Keep the ideas comming, sailors can be the most ingenious people! I'll report back soon.
