If you look at some photos of consoles installed, you will see the hardware.

The console is attached using an L bracket. The bracket is screwed into the deck and the console. On top of that, there is a wooden trim piece (teak) that is screwed into the bracket.

Do you have the L bracket? Need specs?

If you don't have the teak trim piece, you can get it from one of the whaler wood parts vendors - Blackduck - http://www.blackduckgallery.com/WOODP...PARTS.html

The second to last photo on my personal page shows this detail.

The fasteners should be stainless steel. When drilling through the deck and console gelcoat, you want to bevel the edge of the hole so the gelcoat does not crack. Top edge should be a V.

Seal the holes with polysulfide sealant (3M, Boatlife, West Marine, Sikaflex) and not an adhesive and not silicone.
