I believe most M17's (I stand to be corrected) have a gap from the stern locker into the side locker space. correct.
Can you tell me about changing the stop pin for a bolt? Will you have the bolt head and nut exposed? after pounding out the bin collect a stainless bolt long enough to go through the keel, nut want washers. the nut and bolt head will 'stick out'. this is the system larry yake uses and his boat is WAY fast so i'm not worried about reduced boat speed. make sure that the stop pin hole is in good condition. dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site: http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Sat, 11/6/10, Bill Wickett <billwick@gmail.com> wrote:

I believe most M17's (I stand to be corrected) have a gap from the stern locker into the side locker space. I too want to close this up, as the cabin smells like gas from time to time. I think the foam cushions also absorb this odor. Can you tell me about changing the stop pin for a bolt? Will you have the bolt head and nut exposed? It wasn't on my list yesterday, but changing the pennant is "on my list". I have it arranged to lift up the boat with a fork lift from the trailer to drop the board. Bill
