Installing a new tabernacle, CD25, HELP

Post by Tom Foley »

The origanal broke when putting up the mast. The deck is five inches thick and the new base has holes in different locations. The old bolts were stainless, 1 1/2 inches and didnt seem attached to anything except the wood under the fiberglass. I have 2 inch bolts and was planning to drill into the metal plate and tap threads in. Any suggestions are very welcome. I'm anxious to get sailing.
Thanks
