Graham, Like Pierre, if you could send pictures that would be really helpful. I’m interested in the attachment to the bulkhead in particular.
Yes, I plan on transferring the drawings to a plywood mockup prior to fabricating the entire setup. I don’t know what others have done but I’m planning on using sheet 3/8” FRP from McMaster-Carr when things get finalized. Like you, I plan on installing a strip of Starboard also. It looks pretty clear that rubbing/abrasion will occur. Since we’re on this thread, I’m wondering what members’ experience with using the C&C cast stem fitting/bow-roller has been. Do they work well?
