She's fixed....
Since I had to use the boat this weekend time wasn't on my side so I decided to fix the overhead storage unit by using 14 (count) 1/2" 90 degree stainless brackets being held in by #10x32 Stainless Steel bolts with nylok nuts. After all the brackets were installed I ran the 3m 5200 bead on the inside and outside edge for added strength and waterproofing and also on the 10x32 SS bolts. (you right this stuff is strong).
The end product if infinitely stronger than factory 14 tiny screws holding the box. The repair WILL NOT FAIL, the box would break before any of the fasteners failed.
