Author	Topic:   Shepherd rail fastener
cys	posted 05-01-2014 10:45 PM ET (US)         Does the Shepherd rail on a 1988 Montauk 17 fasten to its base using the same 10-24 x 1/2" screw as the side rails? Thanks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/10269452@N00/13897077598

Many times, when screws are loose, falling out, and stripped, the screw thread is stripped (not the tubing) and adding a new screw will solve the problem. For the correct screw that includes the plastic fitting call Fred Caldwell at CMI Marine 781-740-1260.
