![]() I'm of mixed emotions on this one....if there is a simple answer I overlooked vs not..... I removed the port genoa track due to leaks. I found that there were two overlapping holes for each mounting bolt. I think it was a factory error. I've drilled the holes oversize, and will fill them with epoxy...when it quits raining. Now the question: What is the best way to remount the track and seal it? The aft end of the track has a pretty good bend in it when mounted, although it's nearly straight when off. Should I start at one end, positioning, drilling, and sealing as I go? Is filling the bolt hole with sealent then inserting the bolt sufficient? If I try to smear the underside of the track, I'll just smear sealent all over the deck while messing with it. Also, as soon as I take the positioning pressure off the track, the mounting bolt will lay against one side of the hole, which wories me a bit. Would it be better to use a few bolts to position the track, then drill the rest? How would you guys do it? Thanks, Norm B |
