In Response To: Re: Struts and Ports (Charlie Haws)

Ultra thickened epoxy. Of course I didn't have any, so I used thickened resin on one and I'm embarassed to say what I used on the other. I broke off the corners of the original bedding and glued them to the same corners of the strut. I then put a generous amount of the thickend resin on the strut and jacked it into place with a floor jack. I fed 5200 coated bolts thru the bolt holes to my buddy inside the boat who tightened them down. The original corners aligned the strut to it's original location.
