Purchase a set of these isolators. They are designed to expand on the back
side as you tighten down the bolt. No rear access required.

You can probably get them at a hardware store as well.

Hi,

I have an 85 Supra Saltare. The drivers control is coming loose due to
the screw holes being worn over the years. What is a good way to anchor
the side controls back to the boat? I haven't worked with fiberglass/gel
coat repair kits up to this point.

Would I be better off buying an aftermarket side mount control? They
appear to be much lighter.


Thanks

Saltare
