My problem is that I have just taken off the old-fashioned downhaul cleat on a 1988 Laser which I've acquired. I have gone to put on the new double clamcleat but found that the screws will not fully tighten. The wood under the fibreglass also extrudes (and appears rotten) when I unscrew the screws.
I would be very grateful for any advice as to how I can ensure the screws fit tight. Should I put in some wood hardener, or epoxy? If so should I drill out a hole to put this in first or just use the existing screw holes?
