Peter:
Don’t know about your boat, but I can’t imagine it’s just
screwed in. On my boat, the strut was through-bolted with a backing plate, but
the hull was cored at this location. The result was water infiltration into
the core (not just at that limited location – water travels) and weakened strut
support. This was one of the many core issues we repaired.

I have a different boat, but the strut is through bolted to a very thick
backing plate with four very large bolts, maybe 3/8". I also believe the hull
is about an inch thick at that point. I encourage you to look further. You
may have to remove the floor and/or box.

Does any know how the strut on an 84 Landfall 35 is affixed. I'm wondering if
there is a backing plate because if so there is no access to that part of the
hull as they installed the floor and box over it. Or is it just screwed in?
That part of the hull doesnt seem partcularly thick or strong. I'm wondering
if glassing over it to re-enforce it is a possibility??
Thanks in advance!
