geeks2you Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Bought a "new to me" 2002 2200v. Have a problem with 1 of the cooler anchor points on the deck in front of the console. It has dropped loose from the deck surface and is sort of falling into the deck. The biggest worry is that there is a large gap the is open for water to leak into the fiberglass floor as well as into the bilge. I looked this weekend and the water was pooling on top of the fuel cell and it looks like it it has rusted the fuel gauge wires, which is not working currently. Can I just epoxy the anchor point back into place and then seal and small gaps around the hole perimeter? Anyone else had this issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang190 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I would just epoxy them in or just remove them altogether. Fill and seal the holes. I use a Engel cooler and it stays in place without any tie downs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Plan sounds sound to me. Keeping water on the deck and not letting it seap under the deck is the right thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I replied to your FB post. I filled mine in. Contact spectrum for a pre mixed epoxy that should match close. A small jar should do them all I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMojito Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I have the Engel cooler as well, but use just two turnbuckles to hold it in place. I think the sets of 4 were for a strap arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwater Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 yes i also have this problem,been fighting the deck hardware always coming loose with vibration of boat,etc. i have 2011 22ft pathfinder. i thought about removing it all and filling in with marine tex,then paint it,but maybe as suggested just fill in spaces with epoxy and see how that works. would like to see/hear your results. john watermeier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningfish Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Does anyone know where to get this style replacement tie down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Onmar in Sweden carry’s those tie downs. They ship international and you can order on line. Somebody was listing some on eBay for a while, but I took a quick look and could not find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Just removed all four on my 2012 2200 TRS. I cleaned everything up, then used Loctite Marine epoxy to seal the holes. Lowes carries it. Color is close. I will now use Engels Deep Blue Tie Down Straps. Now half the hardware, no 1/2 inch holes in the floor. Only challenge was creating a bottom in each 1/2 inch hole to hold the epoxy. I used plastic from a milk jug and cut round disk to push in the holes.

End Results......The Loctite Marine Epoxy is very easy to work with and would easily fix your current setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 If anyone who has removed the old style wants to get rid of them, IM me with a fair price and I'll take them off your hands. Thanks! RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
