That was my original intent, but after I got the plywood cut to size I started to worry that the space between the plastic and wood bulkhead would be a potential place for water to gather and sit, especially since the plastic bulkhead has a pin hole in it to balance the air pressure from the forward hatch. Another reason is I thought the bulkhead would be much stronger if I could glass the seam tape on both sides of the bulkhead. The plywood may give a better place to mount the pump screws and washers (they would have to contact the plastic bulkhead if not removed). Bad idea? Good idea?
