I have 88 Montauk 17. I bought an aftermarket bow rail for it from Specialty Marine. The directions, it say to drill two 9/64" holes for the stanchion support which is behind the bow light and forward of the Norman pin. When I did that I hit metal and when I was finally able to drill through it I could not get the supplied screws to screw down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Am I doing something wrong?

Any suggestions on someone in the area that could assist?
