I'm adding a spinnaker pole and need input on the fore deck structure and mounting a padeye for to attach the fore guy. Is the fore deck thick enough to use screws or should it be thru bolted? Is there a gap between the deck and the liner if there is a liner overhead in the fore peak?
I would recommend using 4 thru bolts 1/4x20 with good size back up washers. It's work for me with no sign of trouble.
