what material to use for bulkhead with foot pump ?

I got to the point where I need to start working on the bulkheds of my coho. I also have a guzzler-500 to install. I intend to install the pump thru the bulkhead, like we discussed on this board few weeks ago. I thought of using a 9mm plywood, regular, not any marine standard, but then I thought a 5mm regular plywood might be strong enough when wrapped with 8oz glass cloth & epoxy.

did anybody tried any of this ? does anybody have any experience on this matter ?

any help appreciated.
