I'll be installing a Magma Pedestal mount on the swim platform of an 06 340. I plan to drill the 6 holes larger than required, fill with West System Six10, redrill and fill with 4200, stainless hardware, fender washers, and locking nuts to secure.
2 items of concern:
1) Has anyone had any issues with water getting 'trapped' in the floor plate? There is no drain holes, so I'm concerned about sealing the perimeter of it as the top is open to the elements. Should I just focus on the mounting holes for sealing, and disregard sealing around the diameter of the plate, as water will simply pool inside?
2) Has anyone come up with any good ideas for a cover/cap for the mounting plate? I'd like to keep the kids feet well clear of the mount.
Many thanks,
JMD
