Before I start tearing this baby apart I thought I might ask a few stupid questions. I just traded out some work for a 94 Starcraft 1810ss. It is in beautiful condition with low hours but there is one thing that needs to be fixed. The bow grabrail inside the bow seating area is pulling out and I can see that if it is left this way it will continue to deteriorate until it falls off. It appears to be screwed on from inside the hull. How they managed that is a mystery to me. I assume that it was put on prior to the seat backs being installed. It appears that I have two choices. 1: try to bond the rail to the fiberglass with some sort of adhesive and hope that it holds. This might also involve trying to force epoxy into the screw holes. This appears to have been done before. Or 2: Somehow yank off the seat backs without destroying them to see if I can access the screws. How are the seat backs mounted on anyway? Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks
