Author	Topic:   swim platform repair
Jersey Jim	posted 08-13-2001 07:31 AM ET (US)         New montauk came equipped with swim platform. Platform has a handrail on one side that screws into the transom with a #14 screw 1 1/2 long. The screw has pulled out. I assume there is wood behind the screw. I thought about replacing the screw with a 5/16 lag bolt or maybe a thru-bolt. Or should I epoxy the hole and use the same screw ? Thanks for the help.
