[Rhodes22-list] Mast Crutch

[Michael Meltzer]

you have a problem, they drill and tap into the fiberglass, if the screw is turning it is doing nothing, worst yet the block could
give way during a lift, that would be no fun. the force for the most part are in sheer but their is enough lifting force on some
angles. SO... enlarge the hole some, fill with thicken epoxy, drill and retap, and use some silicon to rebed. Second method is to
thought drill into the cabin top, and bolt with a fender washer and bedding, but that is ugly but cheaper that buying
countersinks(to cut the glass so it does not crack) and taping tools.
