Hi all. I have a late 70's M17. I've removed almost all of my deck hardware and will paint the deck and then rebed everything once the weather warms up here in North Dakota. I have an idea about rebedding the bow pulpit that I want to run by people who know more than I. After I removed the bow pulpit, I discovered I could fit the boat in my garage. My idea is this: what if I reattached the bow pulpit with rubber gaskets and the normal bolts? This would allow me to remove it every year and then store the boat in my garage. I've already drilled out the original holes, soaked in some epoxy, so I think the holes are safe from being invaded by water. The ruber gasket should help too. Just an idea. Is it a good one, or should I just rebed the pulpit the normal way and look for a bigger garage? Thanks!
