What do you all suggest?

Thanks!



It's not uncommon to mount the rail directly on the deck without a
rubber gasket beneath.
The important part is to squirt some Sikaflex or other sealer into the
fastener holes to prevent water from wicking into the interior of your
boat, a cored laminate, or etc. (Don't use 5200 to seal the fasteners
unless you are *positive* you will never need to remove them. You can
use 4200, but not 5200).

I've seen it recommended to use oil when driving SS into glass, to
prevent galling. Do you know of a respected FAQ(s) for attaching
fittings to different boat materials?
Thanks.
