the previous owner overtightened the starboard bonnet hinge and stripped out the threads.  it is what my dad used to call "pot metal"... soft and friable.
I know I can buy another one for 50 bucks at Moss but wonder if epoxy would work or maybe trying to re thread with an oversize stainless steel bolt?
