I dont like the look of pie plates on the on the inside wall of the boat. So I cut an access port, 4 maybe 6 inch, that faces the transom on the inside pocket of the rod storage compartment. I put it as high as possible so its not really visable. You might have to get creative with a rachet taped to broom stick to back up the machine screws that get tightened from the top. This obviously takes two people. Its definitely possible you just have to be a little creative.
