    Default Turtle deck install

    What goes into the hole drilled into the hook in the cargo box? The manual only shows hole size not hardware.

    Also, are all four bolts trimmed or just the long ones for the skylight posts?

    I used a number 6 machine screw not counter sunk with a lock nut. The manual show you countersinking the turtle deck but I saw no advantages other than a chattered hole and marked up paint.

    The long sky light bolts are the only ones cut.

    If you have a metal turtledeck with a COM antenna mounted on it make sure you remove the powdercoat and paint on the mating area of the tab and bottom of the turtle deck and put a star washer in between them to bond the turtledeck to the airframe for the radio antenna ground plane.
