dwilmot Forum Newbie D Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3 Richmond BC Canada	Hello David, Thnx for the information which confirms what I was looking for, that there should be washers under the nuts. Just makes sense to spread the load. The question now is why does the boat I am looking at have no washers???? Thnx once again.
