I noticed water seepage from the two lower screws that tighten the triangle plate to the centerboard handle. I removed one screw and water came gushing out. Is this normal? Would have thought the screw holes would be "blind"...not open at the inner end to water. If they are suppose to be "blind" holes, maybe someone used to long a screw and fractured the inner end? Or, should the screws have, originally, sealant on the thread? Since I keep the boat (hull 4480) in a slip leekage there is of some concern. The gasket does not seem to leak.
