Thanks for sending that. I was just talking to a guy from one of the boat yards about how to do that. He also suggested possibly putting in a piece of wood to make the area flat for the screws and backing plate to pull against.

All good ideas from everyone, thanks a lot!

Dan,

I made the backing plate from some discarded scrap I found laying around the boat yard. It was either 1/8″ or 3/16″. I never did make a pattern. As I recall, I partially bent it around a wide pipe to get the initial radius, leaving the angle of the sides a bit wider than I’d finally want. Then I installed it and used the torque of the bolt to pull it in as I tightened it. Or something like that. It’s also thoroughly bedded with 5200.
