Agree, plus grease. However the tap used was only a starter tap, should be followed with an intermediate tap and then a straight tap (3 in total) to form the perfect thread especially for the small threads. WD-40 doesn't cut the mustard, or the thread. :-))

Tin shed is only secure as per the weakest link. It will be interesting to see how it stands up to the elements. Any plans to build it on an inexpensive foundation (pallets, 4x4, etc) - rain, water, snow? Big move soon. Boat and materials will be more exposed. Any boat canopy enclosure - used or other [tarps, sun shade, large special events tent/gazebo, privacy screens]? Got to make the boat more secure. That was some rain storm and deluge.
