[QUOTE="richg99, post: 407238, member: 4376"] The longest lasting "slick" experiment material was the PVC lattice strips and diagonal pieces. That material was twice as thick as the gutter downspouts. I had to countersink the stainless screws. I then worried, often, that the screws would work their way back up. That would have wrecked havoc with my fiberglass hull. Had I removed the SS screws, I would then have replaced them with SS bolts and locknuts. Never did it. The lattice was still on the boat when I sold it, about 7 years after installation. I like the idea on this install that the screws go in from the sides. NO chance of them screwing up my hull if they were to back out. We shall see.... richg99 [/QUOTE]
