Hey Joe,
You seem to be in the 'know' on Whaler specifics (and I believe you have helped me in the past

). Whaler is closed for the holidays, and my questions is: I want to install a battery- style strap tie down for my Isolater transformer (to supplement the 4 hold-down screws).

In general, Whaler uses a 3/4" #10 ss screw but it appears the holes have an insert, which appears plastic. I can't find any info on these, tho I did purchase some 'tap' screws which had metal sleeves (for my fish box hinges).

any suggestions on a sleeve for a 3/4" ss screw, and the diameter of the hole for the sleeve? (cautioning to restrict depth of hole and drill bit, of course)
thanks in advance -
