thanks for the input . i do want to let you know that it IS the hull that is in the way . has anyone actually ground it out to get access to the bolts and if so what happened. did you go though all the way and left with a channel in the hull and just covered by the deck overlap? if so did you simply fill with polysulfide? or 5200 figuring to re cut the next time you need to access it .or did you take off the teak strip and go in horzontally for a 3" groove, and placing the trim back on to cover things a bit . thanks in advance . mg
