Next time, tap the holes to make threads for machine screws. Mount

Where do you get them ?


I agree with the machine screw suggestion. I disagree with the use of SS
machine screws. Use aluminum machine screws instead. Seal the threads with
blue Locktite. This avoids the battery effect when salt water gets in the
threads between the SS screws and the aluminum mast.
