One of my bow chocks under load rotated around the fwd screw and tore the aft screw out through the side of the deck at the base of the toe rail.
Besides stripping out of the screw hole, made about 1/4" gouge right at the edge of the deck. In progress repairing with epoxy.
But the screw (1/4" ) does not appear (as expected) to penetrate all the way to the interior with a nut on the back.
Looks like it just dead ends inside the core.
Everything else on the bow (stanchions, air vent, cleats, anchor chain passage, . . . ) all are through bolted.
Anyone encounter this and know how to refasten ?
thanks
