After using one of these on my aluminum Jon, I want a better, more scure option for my boat seats.
This thing moved every time I moved.
Now, I went to one of these
which gets mounted under the seat
which then is really handy goes into the base plate
quick and easy and not permanent which is what I need.
The problem is my boat has very thin guage aluminum.
and there is no way I can get under the aluminum bench seat (riveted and filled with foam) to properly secure the base plate. I thought of using toggle boats or self tapping metal screws but both of these options will not be very tight and secure.
The other option I was thinking about was attached a carpeted piece of plywood across the top of the bench seat and then I would have an easier time attaching a base plate to that.
I could only do this if there was a place to securely mount the carpeted plywood.
Any thoughts?
