I want to cover up the place where the batteries and charger etc. goes in the back between the transom and seat. (mainly to keep prying eyes out)
Would a 1/4 inch thick aluminum plate be strong enough? The dimensions would be 20" x 60". It would lay on top of the pods on each side and I thought maybe a hinge attached to the back of the seat or maybe just a strip of angle on the seat and on the transom and just have the plate sitting on top?
Where the gray lines are would be the angle. How much weight could this hold? Could I go with 3/16 ?
I've looked through the archives but couldn't find anything specific. I don't want to use wood because this boat will be sitting in the water most of the time.
What have other people done for this mod.?
Thanks
Sam
