I've been thinking of doing this. But, can't you feel the screw head through the skin, if you push a bit? Or, is the screw head countersunk in the bracket?

: Here is how I mount my footrests to a Fuselage Frame. I am using
: SeaLect design footrests, formerly Sea Dog, and I attach them
: with aluminum angle brackets that I make. Just screw them to the
: gunwale. I use the existing screws that come with the footrests
: and attach them to the brackets. I have done this on several
: boats and sold a few sets and as far as I know, never had one
: come loose. If you play in surf or something similar and really
: rough on them they might pull the screws out of the gunwales.
