Hi all, need some advice about 2 things................. I have noticed that the mainsheet blocks on my boom are only just hanging on, the rivets are very loose so need to be changed. I noticed that the holes, especially at the stern end of the boom are badly corroded. Will I just be able to put some new rivets of the same size in or should I go oversize????
Second thing, I have to change the transom drain plug but when i came to screw the new female part in the screws didnt tighten, I have tried filling the holes with epoxy (araldite) but this didnt work. Can I just put some oversize screws in?? If so how would I go about doing this, not sure if I'd need to fill then redrill holes to suit bigger screws?
I just want to sail before the great british summer is over!!!!!!
