Like most stuff in my boat, I use gravity. Some people like to glass them into place, but I'd prefer to be able to redesign my boat every couple of months. And gravity works. You can make a functional strum box with a hose fitting, a foam mold and some fiberglass for pennies --- or got to Rapidstyle and Dana will sell you a nice one for a couple of thousand pennies. > What's RTV? What's RTV? RTV is to marine electronics what duct tape is to everything else in the world! RTV is ... <RTV>! Dunno ..... it's RTV. Use any marine grade silicone sealant. (You <really> work at Johns Hopkins?) If all this is going into foam, what holes are you drilling into the boat --- other than the overboard port? Good luck!
