Has anyone used Azek board on top of stringers for backing for tower and console?

The best thing for tower installs is thru-bolting it through something OR putting some metal plating down under the sole, drill and tapping the holes.
IMO the composite boards like Azek and Trex are not strong enough to trust screwing into them with lags or something like that to anchor a t-top or tower. It may be ok for a console unless it is the main thing to grab onto in the boat. I have some trex in the bilge of my 230 holding the 40gal freshwater tank in place. I thru-bolted everything and the material has held up well for 8 or so years.

You can try some tests to see if it'll hold a lag.

I am using it for my bilge drain plug knotch and I may use it to support my floor on top of stringers, since I'll only be setting a console.

Time to rip that deck out. Whats your plan on the stringers. Are you going to remove the foam?

North, I will do the cap next. Then on to the stringers and yes the foam is coming out. I'm thinking corecell for the floor and bulkhead the seams.

What is everyone coring their caps with?

RickK · « **Reply #160 on:** July 28, 2015, 07:17:08 PM »

I recored the front of my cap only, the rest wasn't cored. I used Plascore and where I was going to through bolt things I used some coosa that Gran sent me.

Thanks looked like mine had 1/4" ply that was covered with mat. All rotted out. So you just cored where the rod holders were and the fore deck.

RickK · « **Reply #162 on:** July 28, 2015, 08:40:00 PM »

My rod holders are metal plates, so no backing needed.

Do you think my cap will be strong enough without coring? I dont think your cap is the same, you have a little more support from your liner.

RickK · « **Reply #164 on:** July 29, 2015, 05:25:22 AM »

If the coring is rotted out, replace it. Looks like you have the curve locked into the cap so you should be good to go while recoring.
