I bought a new stereo/mp3/CD headunit for the boat, but don't know how to through bolt it to the storage compartment. It has the sleeve with tabs on the back to bend up, but I am guessing that won't hold. it has little threaded holes on each side of the chassis marked "T" and "N/T" Are there brackets made to fit these that would accomodate through bolting or should I make a custom L bracket that attaches to these and goes up to the bulkhead? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Darren

The sleeve you are talking about will not hold. You will need to add a strap to the back of the radio and you should not have a problem.

Thanks FWK, I have a strap, will that hold? I wanted to throughbolt it somehow, but if the strap is all I need I should be alright I guess. Any other opinions?

That should do it. try to make sure the support strap is fairly tight
