I used fast cure 5200, but use something, you no want the water to get in and rot the deck wood.

Re: Pulpit question
 

Hammer, what size and how many bolts will I need to bolt roller to pulpit?

Re: Pulpit question
 

You will need five bolts at 5/16. I used lock nuts that just fit the 3" bolts. You may want to go 3 1/2 on
the lenght.

Re: Pulpit question
 

Uhh, Hammer, the pulpit is 1.5" thick, why 3" bolts? The roller bolts don't go through the deck, or do they? I can't tell where everything falls, cause I don't have mine yet, sniff, sniff :(

Re: Pulpit question
 

To much overtime. Just home now from working the night shift. I need to stay out of the evidence room.
I used 2" inch bolts that just fit. Go with 2 1/2 if you want some of the bolt to slightly stick through the lock nut.

Re: Pulpit question
 

I put one bolt from the roller all the way thur, and two just thur the starboard.

Re: Pulpit question
 

The mounting plate for our rollers is much shorter though...

I made my pulpit out of 1 1/4" teak, about 36" long and 12" wide. It will hold all 215 pounds of me hanging off the tip of it sitting on dry land. Very tough. Pics follow here:

I have to remove it soon to refinish it. That's the only downside to using the teak, I'll get more up after the job is done.
