Q2: Will it be necessary to adhere stud bolts into the [thin-wall laminated] fiberglass for mounting KING StarBoard?
Q3: if 3M5200 is used, will encapsulated plywood or particle board easier to mount [to thin-wall laminated fiberglass]?
Give me advice based on first-hand experience with any of the following methods:
- flamed KING Starboard adhered with 3M5200;
- KING StarBoard mounted using "glassed studs";
- KING StarBoard mounted using reinforced material;
- encapsulated plywood or particle board mounted using 3M5200 adhesive.
BACKSTORY
I want to install a battery charger, an audio amplifier, a Mercury Active-trim, and Smartcraft modules under the console of my 170 Montauk. There is only a small area under the console that is reinforced for mounting items. It’s been suugested to layout and mount the new components to KING StarBoard, but I'm concerned with how to properly attach the KING StarBoard to the existing thin wall fiberglass.
The factory mounted the small [secondary power distribution panel] onto what looks to be a encapsulated piece of rough particleboard and used an adhesive [to attach the rough particle board to the thin laminated fiberglass surface of the console interior].
