: If it's in a glass boat one of 2 possibilities, but essentially fittings
: should be flush to stop losing strips of flesh. So: 1/ inset it. Route, cut, or file a slot for the fitting to exactly fit. Make
: a backing flange of glass and glass it in from behind. This is as straight
: forward as refitting any flush fixture.: 2/ throw it away. Drill a 3/8 hole in the yak and a 1/4 hole,v-grooved 1 in
: away in front. Cover up w/ tinypc of 1/4 foam from behind and glass up.
: Now the deck is the fitting.
: If the hull is a little thin here, add a couple small 2in by 2in layers first
: before drilling and adding back flange.: Your choice. Cut the yak or it cuts you. But you only have to cut it once.
Mick, sounds like a good idea. I'm comfortable working with glass, and will try to work out this approach. Its got to go below the deck surface.
