Hi Mac,

I have my rod boxes out also. I just epoxied 1/4" x 3/4" oak strips to the plastic channel that the screws thread into. The golf tee fix is probably easier, but I already epoxied the oak strips to the boxes. My rod boxes have four larger screws at four mounting points that were stripped also. I just epoxied four 8-32 stainless steel nuts to the rod box mounting strips which solved the stripped screw problem. I have been taking pics of the rod box refurb job and I will post them when I complete. (hopefully next week) I also refinished the teak rod holders, cuddy door, bilge door, and rod box trim. I used Cetol Natural Teak and they came out beautiful.
