Years ago, but I still kickin myself I took no pics...left motor on, removed rubrail and all screws connecting cap to hull (they may have been rivets I drilled out) and jacked the whole cap up except the stern, ran a 1 1/2" strip of 3/4" starboard around the inside of hull to catch new screws, then dropped the cap back down and w/3 drill motors (pilot, clearance hole and screwdriver) started workin' my way around till all buttoned up...rubrail back on, sealed remaining small gappage w/4200 and she was tight as could be after that...you run the strip so you can place the screw anywhere w/no tools on the inside...more details if ya want...
