  • Good thing it was 4200 and not 5200 #IYKYK
  • Successful removal. Grasper tool helped retrieve critical parts from bilge
  • Prior to rebuild
  • Hot glue weld between washers and anchor nuts for one-handed rethreading
  • Cleaned up mounting location

Cleaned mounting location after removal of a pull up cleat that shook off some of its fasteners internally. Received new bolts and rebuilt the cleat during the day and will reinstall the whole fresh assembly in the morning. Required a few hacks and workarounds as the fasteners are in a blind spot that can only be reached by a long extension and deep socket.
