Sorry no picture, as it would say it all.

I mount a starboard, off-the-shelf knife and hook holder that has three suction cups to the vertical side of the i/o cover. There are two CRITICAL knife holders as well.

I then took a large, plastic cutting board and routered (2) precisely measured grooves on the bottom of it, approx, 5" long x approx 1" wide x 1/8"-3/16" deep. These grooves are exactly the same dimensions as the below mentioned brass bars.

I took (2) pcs of brass flat-bar bought at my hardware store. They miraculously fit into the knife holder slits. I bent these bars almost 90 degrees in a vise so that they could slide vertically into the knife holder and the pther ends lay flat against the i/o cover.

Working at a work bench, with the brass bars nestled in the routered grooves, I screwed thru the top of the cutting board, making marks onto the flat bar - at these spots, I drilled and tapped into the brass. Then screwed through the cutting board and into the tapped brass bars. Ground the screws flat to be flush with the brass bar.

The brass bars are permanently mounted to the cutting board.

When I need to fillet, I slide the brass bars into/onto the knife holders, the cutting board lays flat on the i/o cover - NO MOVEMENT at all and all the guts are aft where I wash 'em out w/ the washdown.

This has worked well for 35 lb stripers...
