Installing a Leaning Post--Update page 2**

I'm replacing the flip back ice chest seat on my boat with a leaning post. I know not to drill into the fuel tank, but has anyone done this that can offer advice?
I planned on reusing the old screws/bolts and using some 3M 5200.

Please post a tutorial if you do this. I've been wanting to for a while.

if at all possible you want to thru bolt it thru a backing plate. If you do not have any access under the deck, at a minimum over drill the holes and use toggle bolts

I bought a leaning post from cutting edge on Craigslist last year. Not the prettiest welds but for $395 shipped I ain't mad at it.
I removed the cooler seat and installed the leaning post with stainless screws and LOTS of 5200. I've only had it a year but it shows zero signs of wigglin.

This and use lots of 5200.
Some boats come with backing in key spots, mine has backing under the CC, under the leaning post area, and in the bow under the trolling motor mounting area. Check this for your boat or do the above.

If its made out of aluminum and you don't want electrolysis, you can rub tef-gel on the screws before installing.
