So I was replacing the electronics on the flybridge and when I went to attach the ground wire on the back of the unit, the wing nut was a bit stiff. Without realizing it, I got a bit heavy-handed and managed to shear the stud off the back of the unit (man, that thing was much more fragile than I realized...either that, or I don't know my own strength after a few adult beverages...).
There are still a few threads present on the stud but not enough to fit the ring connector and still allow the wing nut to thread on. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a repair how-to or another workable solution.
Thanks for any input.
