My 35 mk2 apparently had these, but they have been removed. I have not seen a close up of any boats that still had them, so would be interested in some photos. I don't see any signs that anything was done to replace them with any kind if adhesive; the holes are just filled on the deck. The bulkheads do creak a bit as they move in the channels in the fiberglass liner, while under sail in a sea, or as they deck expands and contracts in the morning and evening, but I don't know if the straps would have made a difference for this. The space you describe under the deck pad may indicate a problem, although I can't imagine why this would happen, unless the deck is cored at that point and has collapsed, but 5/16" is quite a lot. -- Shawn Wright [email protected] S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto
