[QUOTE="Pothole, post: 497907, member: 11821"] I used a 3/4" thick block of HDPE (commonly called Starboard) and I took a tap and drilled and tapped several 1/2" holes across the back of the board (careful not to drill all the way through). Tapping gives the bonding material a place to grip on the board. From there you mark and sand the area on the back of your boat where you want to mount the board. Using JB Marine Weld, fill the holes making sure you get the JB Weld into the threads really good then smooth the rest over the board. Mount it on your boat and strap it down with duct tape for a minimum of 24-hours. The one you see pictured has been on my boat for four years now and is rock solid. Costs? If you can find a scrap piece of HDPE, you'll only be out the price of the JB Marine Weld. [ATTACH type="full" alt="TS Mount1.jpg"]114532[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
