there's nothing in there to hold the epoxy-it will fall through.
that's why i'm asking the question about cutting a deck plate.this way,i can thru bolt the top.anything that is through bolted is much better than screwed into something.
i don't need to take my boat to pipe dreams marine.the top is in excellent condition,no disrespect,probably better than one made by them-no disrespect,i've seen his work.
i don't want to use a toggle bolt either-didn't know there was such a thing for a marine application.
