My way of mounting without drilling holes in compression post..FRONT VIEW

Lantern Holder

This is the back view..use leather and shoe lace the board to the pole.. it hold real good.

lANTERN HOLDER BACK

This makes the counter even, giving more usable space. I used teak ( I had an extra board )be sure to cut finger access notch to lift it up with (notch on left side of picture)This was finished with an automotive lacquer, real hard too.

Sink Filler Board

This is the bottom of the sink board with a Wal-Mart cutting board screwed to the bottom. I put 2 s/s washers between the cutting board and the wood to allow ventaliation and so food would not get stuck, it washes easy and drains clean. The cutting board is small evough to fit inside the main sink body and it does NOT rest on the lip, thats for the board to sit on.

bottom of sink board

This is made from 1 cutting board material. It cuts and finishes easy and so far ;2 years, it weathers good too. Cut hole for drink ( your choice )on the inside edge, i found this works better then on the outside edge. this is strong enough to stand on and it does not buckle or move.

stern seats top view

the mounting can be seen here... alum pipe with a bimini fitting to the fiberglass. The top is a 2 sq block of plastic drilled to fit alum pipe and pipe is screwed to the block and block screwed to seat. I used pvc pipe and cut @ 1/3 off so it SNAPS onto the rails, use recessed screws to screw pvc pipe to seat. The seat overhangs the rails by 1 past outer edge of rails pipe. pPICTURES POSTED BY..Dave Any questions e-mail me at KDSSAIL@HOTMAIL.COM
