C-Dory installed the original pump and cover with wood screws. I quickly discovered that the deck holes were waterlogged. I dried and filled them with epoxy. For 16 years nothing but Sikaflex(5200) held them (pump and cover) in place. The inserts are a more elegant approach. 5 were used for the cover and 2 for the pump.
