Hello - I have an ROV ballast weight that twists (I think the hole in the ROV frame is probably stripped). The weight feels secure and hasn’t had any issues with falling off. Any recommendations for how to fix the twisting/stripped hole? Any products to avoid using/aren’t compatible with ROV frame material? Thanks!
Hi @Ingrid -
That’s a fairly common issue! Avoid continuing to tighten the screw, as this will further strip the hole. The HDPE plastic the frame is made from is notoriously resistant to any forms of glue - you could try putting some superglue on the screw and re-inserting it, but this could work free eventually. You could also drill another hole next to the stripped one and use that to secure the weight.
Hi @tony-white - this is very good to know, thank you!
