[QUOTE="russ010, post: 126854, member: 677"] I've done it 2 different ways... the first was to put a 5/8" piece of wood across the bench, attach it with 3" self tapping lag screws (3/8"), then attach the seat to that with the same screws. the second boat I did, I just used the same type of lag screws... I didn't use butterfly/toggle bolts because I didn't want to drill that big of a whole. It's all personal preferance... some guys feel safer using toggle bolts, and that is the best way if you have thin gauged aluminum. if it's 1/8" thick, the 3" self tapping lag screws will be enough [/QUOTE]
