Thanks John,

I'm familiar with that method and was just reviewing it again to see how they mounted the box to the hull. The style I'm interested in has a smaller skeg and box and, instead of a bungie, uses a steel cable with watertight connections below deck.

Thanks for your response. I'll let you know how things turn out.
