| Post subject: | 248 Headliner |
Gents, I've read a few threads where some folks have had the issue of the headliner breaking loose in the cabin. Seems to be happening to me now. I've pushed it back up a few times (seems to be velcro-like). Went to WM today and got some 3/8" #8 panhead screws and some plastic covers. Does this sound like it should work or should I have gotten 1/2"? 1/4" looked awfully small ... Craig C. 2003 - 248, VP 5.0 GXi |

I think I may have used a 5/8 or even a 3/4 long screw, can not remember. Make sure to drill a pilot hole and DO not go through the deck. |

I am having the same issue with my 298. I thought about just getting upholstery tacks but I figured they would not hold for long. Screws sound the best but I worry about drilling through the deck so the length of the screw is important. |

Just check the width of the deck coring and buy screws that are not that long. Should be pretty straightforward. |

Thanks Capn for the advice, it is straightforward, I was just looking for his experience with it. Some more advice might be if I go through the deck the screws are too long right. |

I have the screws (3/8") but I have not put them in yet. Since one of the other posters was using 1/2" - 5/8" when he did it, I would think that given the thickness of the vinyl, padding and the deck itself, you are safe with 3/8" screws. Just be careful when you drill the pilot hole ... Craig C. |

they use a lot of velcro in there so I put in some of that heavy plastic locking velcro that 3m makes and that worked. Had to get shallow staples and staple it in. I had a lot of it down when i was installing the windlass and spotlight though.. |

We used short screws and plastic caps. I suggest that you take careful measurements of the ceiling before you start. We could feel a "step" in the ceiling where the plywood coring was placed. Toward the outer edge of the ceiling there was no coring. The screws should go into the coring at least a few inches from the "step". I used a little wax on each screw to lubricate the screw holes because the fiberglass covering the coring does not compress as easily as the wood. Establishing a center line inside the boat will help place the headliner screws in a consistent pattern. My wife builds stained glass widows so I just left the boat for a few hours and let her do the layout design. There is no need to get the screws extra tight. |
