I bought some windaway deflectors for a boat I'm restoring. Now I need to figure out how to mount them on the top of my dash.
I have no lip or windshield to clamp them to.
I'd like to rig something that's somewhat aesthetic and possibly removable. I thought about a stainless tube with butterfly bolts, but I haven't seen a threaded stainless grommet that I could mount in the dash, and I'm not sure that would look very nice.
Maybe I could do away with the clamps and just butterfly bolt them to the dash with angled brackets, but I'd still have the same grommet problem.
A couple of pop-up cleats on each side, if wide enough (5/16"), would be kinda' neat and convenient, but too pricey.
Boat's max speed should be no more than 65.
Any ideas?
Thanks
