I have a "zone 2" hole, but unfortunately I have no access to the underside.
However I do have a gallon of West epoxy and some fiberglass, so I think a
couple more layers of glass to thicken what the screws go into is in order.
Thanks.
Go to www.westsystem.com

Pick 'Projects' then 'Index', then 'Boat repair & construction' then

scroll
down to 'repairing machined holes in fiberglass' and click on the link.

Do what they say, and to thank them for providing such help, use their
products.

A few weeks ago I posted about fixing a seat on my sailboat that was

loose.
Today I removed all the screws and pulled the seat out.
The screws are held only by the fiberglass; I thought there would be

some
wood, but there isn't.
I plan on using bigger screws in the existing holes and adding a few new
ones.
My only real problem is what to do about one screw hole that I tried to

fix
last year, but just wound up making way too big for any screw. Can I

stick
a plastic wall anchor in it, or maybe a toggle bolt; or am I best off

just
abandoning it?
