[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 398687, member: 13599"] Kismet said: [b]What a nice, clean rig you have![/b] yes, you do have a very nice set up - not cluttered (yet). you did not mention if this is your first boat or your 15th . . . If you have not done so already, ensure the area behind the new cutting board has been cleaned, primed and painted prior to permanently mounting anything to an aluminum hull. Especially at or below the water line. Next time you replace the cutting board piece, cut a piece of 1/8" aluminum sheet the same size, glue them together file the edges smooth.... With the aluminum sheet, you can use 3/8" stainless carriage bolts that have a smooth round head and will give it a very groomed look. #1 - gives more support to your transom. #2 - when the plastic cracks, nobody will know. #3 - it will look very professional. photos are great - also with your location in your profile we can get an idea of where you hail from. welcome aboard !!
