For most uses
: 4oz on the deck is sufficient.

Not sure what I was thinking with that comment,,for paddle shafts bearing on deck behind the coaming 4oz alone may not be sufficient. The glass under the deck is important to take into account for 'strength'. Again check out Nicks book. What is sufficient for a 125lb person won't be for a 185lb person.
