Hi Rick,

So, if the nut came loose and fell off, did they find the nut down behind the galley counter or maybe down in the bilge?  The nut in the picture looks like it's a nyloc locking nut meant to prevent something like this from happening.  Perhaps your nut was a conventional nut?

Hi Todd,

I expect it is the same for a '93.  When mine failed, probably the center
nut came off to release the vertical tang, which is all I saw.  I didn't
get a chance to see the actual repair take place so I don't know about the
bolt heads.

Regards,

Rick Lange
