East Coast Dave Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 What are you guys using as an alternative to starboard for mounting amps and chargers in the console? I thought I saw something about Lowe’s carrying a pvc type material. Have any of you guys used something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 PVC board... works very well thats what the factory uses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradM Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 As mentioned, PVC board works very well! Adhesives like 5200 or West Systems six-10 epoxy will bond well to it, too! My local Home Depot carries 1/4 sheets in 1/4”, 1/2” and 3/4” thicknesses. It’s not too expensive either, less than $40 for the 1/2” material.

That and the last I checked, there isn't any recommended adhesive for Starboard. The chemical makeup of it doesn't like things sticking to it. Besides, PVC board is much lighter!

East Coast Dave Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Used PVC from Home Depot. Easy to work with, light and much less expensive that starboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
