Screwhead teak plugs in 23 seconds!! Having just replaced around 1000 teak screw head plugs…this was the process.. Unscrew every exposed screw: I used a battery drill driver. Drill the hole deeper: I used a 10mm forstner bit as it fitted the existing holes perfectly and did a tidy job. This is subject to having enough teak left to drill deeper. Fortunately Najad were generous with their teak! Try not to drill as far as the fibreglass. Add sealant and replace the screws: I’ve seen videos where they say the screws were just for construction and you can leave them out. That is probably correct but I’m going for better safe than sorry. If the teak was thinner with no room to drill deeper and replace the screws I’d leave them out as a last chance of getting a few more years out of a worn deck. Sealant to stop any water getting into the deck core. I used a hand screwdriver rather than power to replace them as power was tending to rip out the self tapping screws from the fibreglass. Put glue on the plug: I used a polyurethane foaming wood glue. Epoxy would be very strong but mixing all the batches a big pain if you have lots to do. Try to get more glue on the edges than the base of the plug as I had a couple of plugs pushed out as the glue foamed up. Tap in the plug: I used a standard claw hammer as it’s all I had but I daresay a wooden mallet is recommended but the top of the plug is waste material anyway so it matters not. Cut off the excess: I used a Fein multi tool oscillating saw. Be careful with your angle as you don’t want to gouge the surrounding deck. It took me a few goes to master the technique but was pretty quick when I did. I said the top of the plugs were waste but if you found yourself short a lot of them had enough material left to do more holes. Sand flat: I used a random orbit sander with a worn 80 grit pad. I now have fresh patches all over the deck so, once I’ve completed a couple of caulking touch ups, I’ll give the whole deck a very light sanding. You could just leave the newly sanded plug patches to grey down to match the deck if you preferred. And that’s it…repeat many times!

► While the Miami International Boat Show is renowned for its extravagance of all genres, and the debauchery of power displayed by many of the boats on show, the reality of the overall American boating market is far less spectacular: hulls under 26 feet are flooding a market more oriented towards inland waterways and protected bays than the open sea. In this context, the all-new WorldCat 235TE, developed from the 235CC Center Console, offers serious advantages in a compact hull - especially when compared to a monohull fishing boat of the same size. The 235TE boasts 35% more deck area, gets up on the plane three times faster for the same power and, above all, delivers fuel economy of around 40%. Range promises to be remarkable for this size of powercat, thanks to twin fuel tanks totaling 120 gallons (454 liters). During our visit to Miami, we were able to appreciate the practicality of all the fishing gear, as well as the remarkable quality of construction and finish. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: WorldCat Length: 22’7” (6.88 m) Beam: 8’6” (2.59 m) Draft: 9” (23 cm) Transom height: 25” (65 cm) Light displacement: 5,275 lbs (2,393 kg) Max. engine power: 2 x 300 HP outboards Fuel capacity: 2 x 60 US gal (2 x 227 l) Livewell capacity: 30 US gal (114 l) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
