: I was bound and determined to get my coaming as low as possible on
: my second Outer Island, thus the recess and carbon fiber lip. It
: all worked splendidly, I have ZERO complaints with the results.
: 5/8" clearance, count 'em, five friggin eighths. So I guess
: it depends on what kind of coaming rim we're talking about, 'cuz
: I really doubt 5/8" woulda worked so well with a wood rim.

Obviously no reason 5/8" won't work, seems like alot of work to gain an 1/8" though.

Just mentioned that most commercial boats have 3/4" risers.
