I am getting ready to cut a 6 inch hole in the floor of the cuddy just behind the mast on my DS II, One of the screws in the mast step flange is stripped, The bolt just spins with no bite. I want to inspect and repair the support under the floor if needed.
Wondering if there is rib under the floor that I may need to avoid when cutting the hole for the inspection plate, I am pretty sure I am not the first one to install a plate here.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
