As far as mounting it, I guess you could screw it and glue it. That's probably what I would do rather than pulling the hatch and trying to thru-bolt it. Drill a hole and dig out some core if possible, fill with epoxy then re-drill and screw it to the epoxy plug. I would probably make a few globs of 5200 around the screw holes and maybe another in the middle to insure it stays put.

Maybe someone has a better idea for mounting it.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I think I will go with the moeller trays and epoxy the mounting holes.

They are going on either side of the fuel hatch under the console. Is there a depth i should drill out or should I just drill until I hit the bottom later of glass? And what size drill bit would you use?

Sorry for all the questions. I Have not done this before but i want to learn because the boat is original and need to start bringing it back.
