I've been planning to mount genoa tracks on my '83 M-17, and since someone recently posted on this topic recently I thought I'd ask the question I've been wondering about: My teak toerails are bolted through the deck-hull joint at at random intervals, anywhere from about five inches through eight inches apart. There's no even spacing. Considering that the Schaeffer T-track is bolted through at four-inch spacing, should I even try to line up some of the holes? Complicating this is that you have to drill and bolt the first two holes and then bend the track as you go -- so you really can't know how anything is going to line up until you get there. I'd hate to start and then have to drill new holes too close to the old ones.
Has anyone performed a retrofit like this before? If so, any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks much, Gordon M-17 #377 "Sapphire" Milwaukee _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
