: I think you're right, the bungee's on the deck will be pulling the
: pad eye assembly up tight to the deck. Sooo, i've never tried
: this, but maybe just use a piece of rubber tubing, cut a slit
: along it lengthwise, and then wrap it around the plywood
: backing. The force of the bungees should pull it tight to the
: underside of the deck and seal the hole, no adhesive necessary.
: Just a thought, i'm only building my first, and haven't reached
: this part yet.

Btw, depending on the hull/deck joint shape, make sure there's enough room for the wood backing piece that the strap is assembled with to fit inside the boat and not hit the hull when you're cutting the slots.
