In short, the problem is as follows: In certain cases, the nuts and bolts
will have to be hacksawed off from above and replaced with screws. I shall
therefore have to fill vertical holes in the top of the fiberglass coaming
with epoxy and drill out. But of course I cannot access the underneath of
the coaming to stop liquid epoxy dropping through, or to "push upwards" if
epoxy paste is pushed in from above. It would also be nice to be able to
"build up" epoxy underneath the hole to give the screws more to grip on,
but again that is impossible.
