Thanks for the feedback. I thought I'd ask before bedding the base back down. I wasn't thinking a big move so that it wouldn't be over the bulkhead but I would think just an inch would make a big change. I just wanted to make sure that it was in the right place. My boat seems original but over the years of other owners who knows what could have been changed.
