thanks Stu.  I bought the glue you recommended and i'll try it today.  when i called CD, they said it was supposed to come off but i think she meant the knob, not the knob and bolt.

if you look at this .  - https://www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by-boat/capri-25/hatches-ports/replacement-parts/hatch-adjuster-for-fiberglass-hatches/4607/

the black knob and the screw (in my case, it's a white knob) came off.  it looks like the screw was welded on but is broken off.  this is what I'm trying to fix.  while I can use the knob and screw, it would also just fall right off, when not tightened down. 

does that help?

i can't find if i posted about this before or no, so apologies in advance.  the white cover over the sheet metal screw, as pictured below, for my hull 99, 1986 catalina 34, sheered right off.  Do i need to replace the whole arm mechanism or is there another way, so i can hold that hatch up?

thanks

Stu, how much butyl did you use, do you think?  and was it hard to do all of this? i know i put the control ends and cam cleats on, in 2014.  when i called catalina today, they said it's so simple they don't bother writing it up.

thanks.  this water seems to be coming in the screw holes on top.  i didn't see that in the wiki, just a note about the thru bolts.

if you look at the picture, that is water coming out of the structure the traveler sits on top of.  I never could figure out where water was coming in and when we ground some of the gel coat for stress cracks, that water came pouring out.  dug it out to fiberglass and then put the air compressor on one of the screw holes of the traveler and sent water pouring out.  so i apparently have to take the entire traveler off and rebed it.  what do I use for the rebedding so water doesn't go in the screw holes (which have screws in them) and into the headliner?  thanks
