Destroyer,
You are really a fixer. Great mod! I especially like the 1/4" slot to pass the plate through the deck (no need for access plate. Slick!).
If you don't mind I would like to add 1 item to the kit list. That would be some type of sealant or epoxy to close the end-grain exposed by the holes and slot that had to be cut in the deck.
That said you've outlined a great fix.
Good luck Jack.
