    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    I so remember the instructions stated a bit size, which worked with the supplied screws in metal. However, I stepped up to a larger - #10 or #12 if I remember correctly, to mount on my boat since the deck is fiberglass. Also, went smaller than needed and tested the first with a screw since fiberglass tends to wallow a bit when drilling.
