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


Could you use bolts through the fiberglass?

=====================================

That's the best solution if you can get to the back side of the
mounting panel. Otherwise, you can use oversize hardware, or fill the
old holes with MarineTex and redrill when cured.
