[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 379822, member: 7544"] I know you've said you have your solution but I'd try something like this. Take a few (4-6) galvanized stamped steel gate handles like used on wood fences. Cut one end short enough to fit under the lip of the gunnel. Drill a hole through the deck and the handle near the end that fits under the lip. Use a carriage bolt (rounded head up so no trip hazzard) to go through the deck and the handle and a nut under the handle. Jut tighten the nut until the desired amount of pressure is acquired to hold the deck in place. If for some reason this doesn't hold the deck from moving, drill a hole on each side that goes through the deck and the lip and put some sort of pin in it to keep the deck from sliding. Sorry but I rushed the sketch, but I'm headed out the door to see if the crappie are biting. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Deck.jpg"]72946._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
