Broken screw for centerboard pivot bracket

[papa barry]

I purchased an older Capri 14. One of the mounting screws for the pivot bracket is broken. Does anyone know if these screws fasten to individual embedded nuts or is there an embedded plate with two threaded holes?

I broke one of mine as well - sheared the head off and extractor won't back out the screw- I plan on just drilling and screwing a new screw next to it- won't be a machine screw like the other three but hopefully a get enough bite on something

Just curious - did the screw heads pop off while trying to remove them manually with a screwdriver?

I have a replacement waiting in the garage for my cracked centerboard. Looks like I need to be really careful with those 4 bolts.

Very careful. They are 10-24 and stainless so not the strongest.
