I thought about that untill I put my cutting board into the dish washer
on hot.
It warped. Also not UV protected. Maybe stouter materials are
availble, no?

Does your boat get as hot inside as a dishwasher? Does the sun shine
on your stantion nuts?
Do beware of the plastic being too hard to where it could snap when
tightening the nuts. Be sure and use washers to distribute the load.
