[QUOTE="fyr4efect, post: 461961, member: 23929"] When I used the quick release 'center puck' on my last boat the box it came in had a template on the inside of the box. Im not sure if that's helpful. I had my wife hold the base and quick release while I deployed the TM to ck clearance, position etc. Never used the quick release. On my present boat I don't have a quick release. You could use the cardboard center puck template under your blocks so when you lifted the whole TM and QR after alignment the puck template would be there for your hole alignment. I used riv nuts on several kayaks holding a TM for years with no issues. I think they were brass or stainless. You could also install a access plate for thru bolt access. You also should consider using a sealer on the wood blocks. [/QUOTE]
