Hello Everyone, sorry to be a nuisance, I am going to ask a question about the ama's that I am sure has been answered a million times before but unfortunately I am unable to find the little bit of info I need. I have the ama's and I installed them as per hobies directions. I am afraid though that the well nuts keep popping out and I am going to replace the well nuts with stainless nuts and a locking bolt. My question is what dimensions are required for the nuts and bolts. I am afraid where I live there is not stainless nuts and bolts in the local hardware store so I have to go to a chandelier and get the nuts and bolts from him and I wanted to get the right size. All help greatly appreciated in this matter and apologies again for going over something that I am sure has been all ready mentioned in the forums. Kind Regards, Niall. |

Either the holes were drilled to large or the well nuts were not tightened enough. Either might allow the nut to pull through. The well nut Screw is a 10-32 x 1 3/4" So you need similar diameter to fit the deck hardware, but the length could be shorter depending on the thickness of the hull. |
