Anyone. [sniffle]
I'm also debating pulling the t-top off, but then I'll need to move my VHF, stereo, speakers and stern light. And we all know that space is lacking on these oversized consoles.

Fix It
You might try to take a syringe and some really thick epoxy with cabosil and inject into the holes. Let it dry reinject if needed, let dry and then drill with holes for screws. This is a temporary fix until you decide to do something else. I have used this procedure to fix soft floors and re-anchor screws in the floor until I make major repairs. Good luck

I've used epoxy soaked wooden dowels, it's just an up sized toothpick in a stripped hole trick, lol. I wouldn't go charging through the ocean @ 30 knots thinking it's fixed though. You eventually want a better solution.

Thanks, guys. I was talking to my wife about this and we came up with the dowel idea, too. We didn't think to use epoxy with it, though, which is a great idea. I'm going to talk to a friend's buddy tomorrow, who is a welder, to see if he can tie the t-top into the console for a fair price. I think both the epoxy/dowel idea and tying into the console will hold me for at least the rest of the season.
Thanks! Paul
