I did mine like this. My boat's a lil filthy right now, please excuse it. It works very well and is easy to install. I have a larger piece that slides down to make the splash well taller, with a finger hole so I can remove it. I rarely ever use the top though. The boat is a 1977 18'6 SF by the way.
