: I used a Beckson 6" screw in deck plate in the rear bulkhead of my Coho.
: It is watertight, quick & easy to install, and inexpensive.
: Unfortunately, it is also heavy and looks a little out of place on an
: otherwise all wood boat. It may also help to remember that the stated
: plate size reflects the size of the hole in the hatch - the actual
: dimensions of the deck plate assembly are about 1 - 1/4" larger in
: each dimensions.

My deck plates would be on the inside of the boat so the looks wouldn't matter, but the weight would. Thanks.
