So today I was putting the T top back on and just happened to put a 5/16” Allen wrench on one of the deck bolts that hold the T top base to the deck and it was loose, checked the rest and they were loose as well. On the 210 FSH, and I would suspect the 190 series would be the same, the easiest way to get at the 3/4” nuts is through the head compartment. Pull the horizontal piece of starboard off that goes over the fuel tank and you can reach in there and get to the nuts, just leave a 5/16” Allen wrench in the top side machine head screws and it will come up against the base of the T top uprights or the CC.

I have suspected that the last of my leaks were at these base plate attachment points, I will have zero water come out of the bilge at the end of the day if I do not wash the deck down. I think I could see where water had dripped into the insert below the brackets, we shall see. I may have to pull those legs off at some point and re seal them just to be sure if I still get water out at the end of the day.
