Top screws of bracket are loose and no longer have thread. Tried to remove them and they feel like they have a bolt on the interior. Can anyone confirm? The bottom screws had no issues.

From what I’ve heard there is a nut on the back side and the only way to get to the nut is cutting an access area through the floor.

Yes the top ones have nuts on the inside. The bottom screws are self tapping screws that are supposed to tap in to an aluminum plate. I discovered that the center floatation compartment, under the center ballast bag, was water saturated so I assumed that it was the same with the aft ones. I took a hole saw and cut a 4" hole in the floor on each side (aft ballast bag compartment). Both sides where wet and on the port side the aluminum plate was loose on the floor/bottom. I put new bolts and nuts and installed a waterproof inspection hatch cover.
