I've recently acquired an Alden Ocean Rowing Shell and need some info. Hoping some folks here might be able to help.... does anyone have photos of - or can describe - how the slide seat rig attaches to the hull? I have both but seem to be missing some parts to a get secure fit...have not had much luck with the alden website or phone number.
Thanks!

Heath's Hdwe in Center Harbor has self sealing aluminum washers, which are aluminum washers in different sizes that have a soft rubber washer-style liner, which work to attach items to the hull of a small boat by drilling a hole through the hull, attaching a scew fastener, without making a water leak. They actually work very good......and can be used as a last resort....if nothing else works......since most boaters do not like to drill holes through the boat hull.

Price: about 25-cents/each ....for a size 8, or size 10-screw.
