Default Re: \"glue and screw\" question

To answer your other question I used 3/8" plated allthread. I double nutted one side. After the big glue event with SLOW set epoxy the allthreads backed out no problem. I put an allthread everywhere there was a hole in the transom, like drain plug motor mount holes, drain holes etc. I will defer to others who know more about repairs and 20 foot seacrafts, BUT the knees weigh almost nothing. There are lots of other posts of people rebuilding the transom and putting them in. The point of all this work is to make the boat better and NEVER have to do it again. If you put the knees in drill through holes for drainage BEFORE installation.

Default Re: \"glue and screw\" question

As to the bolt/glue question, just put wax on them before you laminate, and they will back right out. I have never had a problem with this method. If you are nervous about the wax, use McLube (available at West Marine) which is a dry film lube. Coat the screws, let dry for a few minutes, and then let the glue fly.

I have used both methods with great success.
