Hi shipmates, I'm putting a new traveler track and Harken windward sheeting car on my M-17cockpit floor, and plan to mount turning blocks on the vertical cockpit side at each end of the track. The blocks will mount with #10 bolts. My question is does the cockpit side at that point have a balsa core? If so, I'd have to drill oversize, epoxy, and redrill. If I have to do this, what size holes should I drill for the oversize hole and the redrill? I used to have this data somewhere, but can't find it anymore. (I'm having this problem more and more these days - getting old ain't for wimps). Thanks for any help, Rick M-17 #633 Lynne L
