[MHml] winch mounting

Dan,
Thanks for the suggestions.  Do you mean bond the bolts and winch with epoxy?  Wouldn't bonding the bolts with epoxy prevent tightening them?  Or bonding with bedding compound?
Regards
Bill

The Gougeon boatbuilding book has some good recommendations for winch
mounting. The method I have used: drill oversize holes (>x2 bolt diameter),
coat core with epoxy, fill with high density mix. After cure redrill tight
hole, bond bolts in place and bond winch to deck. This last step ensures
that winch has got full contact with deck and is not rocking on a crowned
surface.

a different brand, I'm guessing the holes won't match.  Do I just fill the
old holes, drill some new holes and slap the winch on with some bedding
compound?  Or are there other details?
