When I try to unscrew the nut on the underside of the deck-hull joint that the
toe rail is bolted to, I find that I have a couple of bolts that seem to be
turning inside their holes, which is nicely covered up with a wooden dowel on
top, make them inaccessable. Any suggestions? Also, I am wondering does the toe
rail want to straighten out once its unbolted, making re-installation a chore?
Finally, I have a wooden plate screwed or bolted into the back of the transom
just under where the traveler would be if I had one. Does anyone know what its
