Picked up a 21SE in pretty good shape but the wings have been modified to attach similar to an H18. The pivot location are good but I'd like to find a better way to mount to the gunwale. Right now it is just a tapped hole, I assume they must have filled with epoxy and then drilled and tapped, it does hold the threads fairly well but I'm afraid it will pull out especially if I run spin off the wing mounted blocks.
I could bend up some brackets no problem but how do I attach to the side of hull without access to inside? I'm afraid if I use a blind rivet it will eventually pull through without a backing washer. Maybe drill through and pull a bolt through using string?
Anyone have suggestions?
