Hoping for some advice from those familiar with Smokercraft Fishing boats. I own a 2005 Promag that has a flat carpeted gunwale and a strip of padded vinyl trim on its edge. See pic. I have been wanting to get access underneath the flat portion near the stern to mount bolted plates ( for downriggers) but no one has been able to tell me how to remove the vinyl pads or how to get acccess underneath - if it is possible). I assume the thin aluminum sheet under the carpet isn't enough to support heavier accessories with just screws...any advice for me on how to affix things securely?? Thanks!!!
