I have my rod boxes out of the V to refinish the teak and mainly to repair the fiberglass rod box's. Port side rod box had some serious cracking and generally looked bad. I am using the same mounting as Mulv because I needed to repair and reinforce the box edges. Repairing the box edges means I can't mount the boxes on the front of the rod box cutout instead of the back as Wellcraft did. The four rod box mounting points and edges are backed with 1/4" oak strips bonded to 3/4" cedar and at the 4 mounting points I am using brass screw-in inserts in the oak. The inserts take a 3/16" stainless steel screw to hold the boxes to the boat. I am also reinforcing the boxes with fiberglass and epoxy resin. I will post pictures of the process I am using and the final results when completed.
