[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 495603, member: 21536"] I'm not fully understanding from the pics. Was that aluminum deck section just wedged in without any support underneath? I agree with you about trimming it back so it doesn't rub. I think you would still have the problem if you just added the door edge. Then the quandary seems to be how to support that section. Maybe some combination of the suggestions to add braces from the stingers, rivet angle brackets along the hull, and hangers from bow cap, IDK. If the 3/4 ply decking running up to the bench is solid, another option would be to mount the battery there and extend your new bow deck back to cover it, or make the bench wider to cover it. Of course the big downside is you lose deck space. Edit: I just saw your other TM post and now think I probably misunderstand what is going on with the problem deck section . So, I'm likely all wet in my last suggestion. [/QUOTE]
