Seat bolts

Post by bogweasel »

As my gunwales slope inwards and I have drilled holes in the inwales at 90 degrees to the seat, I get a gap under the inboard edge of the bolt head (see picture). I have experimented with an offcut and managed to chisel a rebate on the outboard side which doesn't look too bad. I'm a little concerned about removing wood from the inwale though as this is bound to weaken it where the bolts are. Any suggestions?

Many builders epoxy cleats to the inside of the hull. to attach the seat
I don't have a pic to show. Seems like Cruiser did that ?

You will want to be pretty sure of where you want your seats located !

search" Seat Cleats", here.

Please accept my apologies to see that Microsoft didn't utilize its money heap to purchase up a laid out business here distributers were modest in the market a couple of years prior an all exchange online plan 1 money arrangement would have functioned admirably. Presently, everybody thinks computer games will be the following enormous thing.
