through the bailer pick ups. The bailers are also
connected to the bilge drain plugs in the stern.

NOTE: Inserts should only be replaced as a last
resort. First try passing a tap, cleaning the hole,
and using a NEW self-locking screw. If fastener
can be tightened to the specified torque, do not
change insert. If torque cannot be applied, drill
and tap insert one size larger before trying to
change an insert.

Insert Installation
1. Clean the insert hole in the hull to remove any
dirt or loose glue using clean, dry, oil free fil-
tered air.
NOTICE Do not use a metal tool to clean or
remove the glue inside the hull insert hole to
prevent damaging the threads in the hull ma-
terial. The glue that is properly bonded to the
hull does not need to be removed.
2. If the insert passes completely through the hull,
screw a stud of appropriate size into the insert
(M6 or M8) to prevent any glue from seeping
into the fastener threads in the insert. Apply
the SIX10 glue from West System (see HULL
REPAIR at the beginning of this subsection for
