No need to trench entire length, IMO. May be a holesaw from top down where stanchion mounts to deck, bigger than mounting plate. Backing plate (aluminum) larger than that opening. 3" hole saw for access at each stanchion. Holesaws will make it easier to cut plywood for fillers. Finish will be cleaner too.
