[Public-List] Fasteners

[George Dinwiddie]

Brent,

I would knock the plugs out rather than drilling them. If you drill the 
same size, and you're the slightest bit off, you'll have to redrill to a 
larger size to get the new plugs to fit.

 From memory, I think the coamings are held with 1/4-20 round-head 
machine screws. The cleats you should be able to tell by what fits the 
holes.

Brightwork around the companionway is probably #10 flathead wood screws, 
covered by bungs.

The hatch hinges are, I think, 1/4-20 flathead machine screws.

I think I'm just going to use a forstener bit, but I'm really anxious. The previous owner refinished all the brightwork really nicely but left the plugs in, so I can't reattach anything to the boat without removing them first. Can I order some new plugs and pre-finish them before putting them on, once I've reinstalled the brightwork?
