    Fuel tank hold down problems

    The screws that hold my fuel tank hold down to the boat have stripped out. Anyone else had this problem? Is there a good fix that will work?

    sometimes you can put a toothpic in the hole and use the old screws again..works on wood so i dont see why it wouldnt work on fiberglass
