Captain's seat repair

DonGargano

Seems the seat pedestal base plate screws that secure the base plate to the deck have been stripped. Thinking I have to either tap for larger screws, or possibly adjust the base plate and screw into newly created holes in the decking.  Don't think these are bolts that are secured to a backing plate under the deck.  That could be problematic!

Don't know what boat you have those screws maybe wood screws' into the plywood deck. Pull one and take a look.

Thanks.  They might be.

Or the wood core in the floor is rotting.    Something to look for....i hope it's not.
