need to know size of screws/bolt that lie between the grab rails and and the port windows. I noticed today that I'm missing not one but two on the starboard side. I cannot even imagine how this could have happeded. Luckily, it looks like it's solid fiberglass at this point. I tried looking through catalina direct catalogue online but no luck. should i call them or call catalina directly?

Why not take off one from the starboard side for sizing?

The only thing I can thing of between the handrails and the windows are the snaps for the pop top.

You know what? I think they are snaps for the pop top. The boat came with the white cover for the pop top that I have never used. I was staring at the "screws" and the holes wondering what they were holding together. Now that I know what they are, I'll probably fill in the holes with epoxy and be done. BTW anybody have any suggestions on how to fill in these horizontal holes?

For small screw holes, get a tube of gelcoat patch, fill until it mounts and spreads out around the hole, let it set up, add a little if it dimples, let it cure thoroughly, sand with very fine grit, and they'll disappear.
