: I want to have a couple of padeyes at the bow and stern onf my Cirrus for a

: deck goes on I'd like to imbed a couple stainless washers and nylock nuts
: before.

: I've already predrilled the holes (oversize), filled with epoxy, drilled to

: hardware with an epoxy, cabosil and wood flour mix. I'll then lay a patch

: Will this setup be able to endure the removal and re-attachment of the screws

: Any other suggestions??

Hi Dave,

I have imbedded 10 stainless t-nuts in the deck of my kayak. I reinforced the underside of the deck with glass cloth and then drilled oversize holes for them. I have 8 for the plastic turtles that hold the deck lines and 2 larger ones for the Necky grab handles.
