nwbasscat,BCB can confirm, but when installed at the factory, believe they use epoxy or the same type adhesive used in windshields. Makes it semi-permanent, but can be removed later by using wood shims to pry up. I previously installed same in previous boat and it was rock solid. Have seen others use velcro, silicone or other lesser adhesives. I have an Eyra now…and believe you have plenty of room to use short #2 screws in the location you are talking about, but I would confirm location with BCB first. Good luck.

I believe the factory uses a urethane adhesive for a pretty secure bond.

Yes, windshield urethane adhesive.

The urethane adhesive works well; however, you can stand your boxes on end between the net box and sidewall of the compartment without using the metal rods that come with the boat for the organizer or the plastic tackle trays. I put two rows on the port side and one row on the starboard side. They dont fall over or slide around. It works like a charm.AndyAndy Greene Greene Boat & Motor 828-286-2290 http://www.greeneboats.com

I have 9 Plano 3700s and a falcon fto hook and weight box in the designed slots with the wire dividers. I have 4 gallon size ziplocks with different plastics in them on the port side in front of the planos. On the starboard side I have a big spinnerbaits box as well as a couple of small Plano boxes for miscellaneous items. I put a piece of non skid material down on the floor of the compartment to keep things from sliding around. This seems to work really well for me. If you have a bunch of smaller items you dont want moving around in there then buy the biggest bulk storage container that you can fit in there and place those items in the bulk container. Dang it, after proof reading what I wrote it looks like I need to downscale my tackle. No wonder Im not seeing the speeds I thought I would! Lol! Add 20 rods to that and a bunch of crap in the day box and its easy to see why speed gets scrubbed.

My boxes fit tight enough that they dont slide forward; however, I have the perfect size cardboard box that I keep on the forward side of the box with spare spools of fishing line. The box fits snug and would keep anything from sliding forward. AndyAndy Greene Greene Boat & Motor 828-286-2290 http://www.greeneboats.com
