Greetings:

I have a 2008 21V I purchased in 2010.

I happened to be looking at the swim platform brackets the other day and noticed that one of the five screws was loose on one side. I put a screw driver on it and found out the screw was snapped and was just hanging in the bracket hole.

To get the broken screw out, I took the other 4 screws out...all of which didn't seem to be very tight. Additionally, when I removed these 4 screws, 2 of them were snapped off about a 1/2" from the tapping end of the screw (they appear to be 3" self tapping screws).

So if I do the repair myself, I will have 3 screws at 3"'s and 2 screws at 2 1/2"...I would dip the screws in 3M 4200 or 5200. Is this the right approach? The screws on the other bracket are solid and I've left untouched.
OR
Should I process through the dealer and SC. How would they fix it...they won't be able to get the tips of the broken screws off.

Thanks in advance...
