[QUOTE="uncndl1, post: 405944, member: 20453"] I have a question on drilling the seat holes for the new hardware holding the wood to the float chamber brackets. The bolts came out (6 each per seat) very tight, meaning once the nut was removed, the slotted screw/bolt had to be threaded out with a flat head screwdriver. My question is, since I'm basically copying what is/was there, should I drill the holes out tight in the new plywood seats, or should I oversize the drilled holes and use sealant on them as mentioned elsewhere? Previously ones last 46 years, but obviously would like to prevent water damage into the new wood. Best regards, Kris [/QUOTE]
