Unfortunately, cost is often a consideration... and the customer's long term benefit is ignored in search of profit. I have seen that on many boats, including my own. But when you're repairing a failed structural piece of hardware, I see absolutely no reason to blindly repeat what the manufacturer did. Doing so is taking the easy way out... and often will not yield the optimal results.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
