How to mount timber base to hull.

[peterbo3]

Teach me to read without glasses. Half inch ply secured with contact cement then glassed on. A FG kit is about $25 & is dead easy to use. That BEP switch is way overkill IMHO if that is the model you are going to use. 2500 cranking amps will start a medium diesel. Smaller should be cheaper.

Here is a neat idea cut from another forum in the USA for mounting a transducer but it could be ok for you're job aswell.
mix up some west system epoxy, or any epoxy of your choice. pour it into a wawa coffee cup so its the thickness you want, let it set up , peel away the paper, you have a nice hockey puck of hardened epoxy, 5200 that to the transom and good to go.

yeah... Sorry I wasn't very clear.... That is just an example... I already have one that is the right size for my runabout... It's mounted currently on the side pocket down low. I just couldn't find a photo of it so linked to a similar switch.

yeah cool idea timeout, thanks. I would use a chinese takeaway container.... Bigger and rectangular. Not sure now what to do but you blokes have all given me a great range of workable options.... Thanks.

Still not decided what method to use.... Went to Bias today and looked at various lighting options because that may affect what I do and where I put it.

I really enjoy all this planning and fart arseing around.... I drive my mate mad with my old woman ways.

Anyway since Deckie was not sure if he was picturing my setup correctly (I think he was....) I thought I would put a picture here. Oh... And a question... Anyone recognize these fuses? I want to get some spares.

why are so simple things turn out to be pages long.
Get what ever you think is good and glue it there with 502 and if you think that stuff wont work on it's own get a router and make a key.

Because people have different ideas on how to do things.... and that is the good thing about the forum, you can learn a lot by listening to others... I have.

Oh, and also because people keep posting.
