Hi Guys:
Been away from building for while but back on it now. Quick basic question for your consideration:
Cockpit Deck Cleats: I'm getting ready to install the 1"x 3/4" cleats to the sides of the hull and transom; these will support the cockpit deck and footwells.
Pages 86/89 in the manual states that the cleats need to be 'epoxied (thickened?) to side of the hull and transom, held in place temporarily with drywall screws driven thru the side of the hull'. Questions:
*Use thickened or unthickened epoxy?
*What size drywall screw? (or maybe there's a better type of screw for this purpose)
*Drive the screw from outside the hull - or from the inside??
*Distance between screws?
Many thanks!
