[QUOTE="rusty.hook, post: 201747, member: 3628"] I bolted mine directly to the aluminum and not to a plywood base, because I want it to hold up, I weigh approx 230 lbs, and did not want to take a chance on the screws popping out. You put in 1/4" lag screws and its not going anywhere. I have used them in aluminum and fiberglass boats with no problems. I get them started with a ratchet and socket a couple of rounds, then use a socket on an electric drill to finish the job. A friend of mine goes one step further and uses 3M5200 for sealing and holding along with the lags screws, good fishin to ya, jus' sayin' [/QUOTE]
