[Rhodes22-list] Deck thickness

[Mary Lou Troy]

Jay,
We are also interested (obviously) to the answers to these questions. What 
are you planning to use for a backing plate? The thickness of that needs to 
get calculated into the equation. What makes the Wichard U-bolt watertight?

Because of the Nicro solar vent and the winter cover on Fretless, I'm 
hoping someone in a warmer clime can give us the deck thickness.
