I never had an issue with my throttle coming off the floor until I had my interior redone, guessing maybe they changed the location or previously it had something in it to keep the screw from stripping out. So I need some ideas on what I can do. I searched and saw someone suggested the snap toggles I bought them and the problem is when I drilled into the floor there is not enough room between the wood floor and the fiberglass of the bottom of the boat to get the snap toggle in all the way. I don't want to have to keep moving the location of the pedal every time it strips out.

Forgot to mention boat is an open bow and can't screw into the stringer. Thanks

Need pics of where and how you are trying to mount. That pic doesn't do a whole lot, nice looking boat though!

I just used regular stainless course thread screws on mine I think there #12 or 14 and haven't had a issue at all. What kind of pedal do u have? Post some pics up so we can have a better idea of what's going on. I have a open bow also and I have days of room between my sub floor and bottom of boat so maybe your just using too small of a screw or not course enough thread. Either way pics asap

I think the better question is, how's your floor? Any rot? I also used a fairly large coarse thread stainless screw's I think I have 3 or 4 screws in it

I was gonna suggest the same
If the screws pull out, I'm thinking there has to be some soft spots or rot

4 threaded inserts with epoxy on the outside threads to the wood. you'd be able to pick the boat up from your foot pedal...

I have the same issue I fiber glassed a piece of ¾ marine ply to the floor and then used 1” screws and don’t use an impact cause its much and strip the holes.

This is the best I could do,right now as far as a photo, I store the boat at the river but basically it's the same area just in the other side. As far as rot nope floor is fine I even had them resin coat the floor when I had my interior redone. Like I said the screws don't pull out right away sometimes it will go half dozen trips before an issue, may also be self inflicicted by a heavy foot.

What # screws are u using ??? Maybe go with a thicker screw like the one I posted not sure what area u live in but I'm in West Covina u could take one as a sample to king bolt and grab 3/4 of them so u can install next time at the river.

Not sure of the size but definetly not as big as the one pic, maybe I'll try a bigger coarser screw next time and if that doesn't work I'll try what kaotyk suggested, thanks for the help.
