Hi Everyone,

I want to run my plan by you guys to see if I'm on the right track.

The original wooden console on my 16' 1962 Eastport came loose. The wooden block that was screwed to the deck has sheared off the screws. Half the screw remains in the deck. I was able to remove the block from the sidewall of the console.

Proposed solution: I was going to use 5200 to secure the block directly to the deck and then put 2 or 3 new screws into the deck. This way I don't have to drill out the sheared screws and putting in larger screws. I'll then screw the console back into the block and use 4200 on the new screw threads.

If I'm using 5200, do I need new screws or will that hold just fine?
