Edd, More than likely its hollow under the head platform. What I have done on several boats is to tap the fiberglass for a 1/4-20 thread. I always prefer to tap instead using a coarse threaded sheet metal or wood type screw. Holds better with much less gelcoat chipping. I have used the Jabsco "Quiet Flush" heads with no problems for 10 years now.

While Jabsco makes a “Lite” version which has the same mounting holes and same connections as the one I’m replacing, I’d like to consider other manufacturers as well. Has anyone done this? How did you mount it to the floor? There is no access underneath there. Any insights welcome to help me save costs and avoid a, pardon the pun, crappy job. All the best, Edd Edd M.
