Hello All,
I removed my 3 treak steps this weekend leading to the flybridge to clean and rebed. One will be replaced. I want to move the mounting holes furter back on the two reused steps and need to drill new holes for these along with a support I am adding to the replaced step. Questions:
*What type of bit should I use- Marin mentioned a Forsner bit on a recent*post but I have not located a 3/8 one locally yet.
*Should these steps be bedded in Dolfinite? Something else?
*Is there any benifit to using brass screws? The original hardware was brass but repairs through the years on the steps were done with SS.
Thanks!
