I'm going to replace my helm chairs.Right now I've got the older two leg type with the slider mounted to the station wall. I'm installing pedestals,27" from deck to bottom of seat. The boat is an older Stamas so it's pretty stout but I don't want to pop a hole in the deck if someone leans (falls!) against them. Here's my questions:
- It would seem to me that a round backing plate
would be better than square?
- I'm thinking of using 1/4" aluminum for the
plate, about 12-14" diameter. Is there a better
material? Maybe that plastic cutting board
stuff?
- Should I 'sandwich' the deck with two plates,
one above and one below?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
