A Little Exhausting Work

01 March 2011
The bolt that goes in this hole snapped off, so I had to drill it out (carefully!)



And here is the $64,000 question: is it supposed to go all the way through?


If not, it does now.

I later made a phone call to Moyer Marine and learned that, in fact, that hole is not supposed to go all the way through, but it shouldn't be the end of the world if I JB Weld a stud in there.

Hailing Port: Mathews, VA
Crew: Anyone I can convince to come along with me
About: Family, friends, acquaintances. No sailing experience necessary! (It hasn't stopped me).
Extra: I am a hard-core do-it-yourselfer. Woodworking, metalworking, carpentry, sheetrock, trim and finish work, plumbing, wiring, roofing. I've got more tools than brains. And unlike my brains sometimes, I actually know how to use the tools!
