Just remember the REAL right way to do it, if it's a deck mounted
lifeline stanchion, is to attach at the backing plate if they were
used
when the boat was built, and add a backing plate if they didn't build
with one.
Short handrail/grabrail stanchions might have backing plates or not.
Deckmounted lifeline stanchions usually do, but even "quality"


Most people do. !/4" alum is plenty for most applications. Where will
you put the drill press? In your front room?

You're getting me mixed up with 'The Freak'.
I received it a few years ago and it sits on my work bench in the basement.


Little man tosk keeps his drill press in the kitchen, next to the toaster.
