There are two teak pads on the inside roof, three long 1/4-20 bolts pass through the rooftop and up to the traveler on each side. The bolts are forever coming loose. The problem is the seasonal drying cycle of the wood and the tiny washers which sink into the soft teak.

I made up two strips of 3/16th fiberglass flat stock to even up the load.

The next step was to cut a shallow groove in the teak.

I transferred the holes. I will sand and finish the teak and paint the strip black.

One more mini job knocked off. I picked up bottom paint today, I am getting close to putting her up for sale.
