    Well $h!t...

    Well, I was experimenting with some various ideas for installing my bluewater LEDs and also removing my now inop Lowrance x75 from the front deck...anyways to make a long story short, I removed one of the tie cletes from the front and now the screws are stripped out and the clete is loose...anyone else have this happen to them? Thoughts or ideas?

    the best way to fix stripped out holes is to epoxy tooth picks into the holes, then drill a small pilot hole and reinstall the screws. Hint, the toothpicks can be cut on a band saw to what ever size hole you are trying to plug. Store bought ones may be to small...........mark
