Jim:
Put a capstan on the research boat for hauling samples. used 1/4" Aluminum as the backing plate, 4200 on it, and then put SS fender washers.
Haven't had a problem with corrosion and it is very exposed.

You could use the Al and add a sacrifical zinc to it, watch the Al and replace it in a few years if need be. I agree anchor locker is a tough place high humidity/corrosive environment.

Likwid...You think 1/4" G10 is the right thickness? I am going to order some 12X12" sheets and give it a try. I think if I can cut/drill it, it would be an ideal backing plate. That stuff is bulletproof, stiff, strong and non corrosive. I just don't think I can cut and drill it but I will give it a go.
My other thought was some 3/4" King Starboard but that stuff is kind of flexable.

1/4" is more than enough.
Just go nice and slow drilling it, I bet depending on the space you could get away with an entire 12x12 square to back.
We use it for backing plates for winches.
There's no difference between drilling your fiberglass hull and G10.  |

MAS the crap out of some good quality 3/4" plywood is more than enough backing for the cored deck over an area.
What is this G10 you guys are talking about????

heated/compressed fiberglass & resin.
stuff is tougher than tough and makes amazing backing plates.
well worth the money if you just wanna do it once and do it right. |
