Thaks for sharing all the pics. and sorry to hear about the Grinder bite, ouch..

I like the shot of they little guy with the axe taking it out on the transom.

I like you idea and think it will work very well.

The only thing to look into are the rubber pads

rubber contains carbon, which is cathodic to aluminum and will cause galvanic corrosion. (according to Yachtsurvey.com)
