How does everyone hide bolts from electrical box?

[hindesjake]

I have a 96 RN superjet and i just put down new turf before i mounted the electrical box. Is there anyway i can mount the electrical box without the bolts being shown in the tray through the turf?

i was running to the same problem,i was thinking about cutting a piece of turf the same size as the bolt,dont know how it will turn out but ill try it

Bolt the bracket in before you turf!! but now that you are done you can cut an "X" pattern in your turf, install the bolts and then glue the pieces back down.

Hides the bolts and makes surf stance riding more fun...

Just put a small hole in the turf from the inside with a drill bit. Just enough to guide the bolt through. Then just tighten them up with a socket. The little bolt heads will look much better/cleaner than butchered turf.

On my first build I cut a peace out and then glued it over the bolt head. Once I saw someone else's boat that had done it the way I described, I was disappointed in the way I had done mine.

I just cut a nice little round hole and use SS. button head bolts.

turf over the bolts and forget about it...

I used a flat counter sunk screw and a large washer that is just large enough to hold the screw.
