Thanks guys.

So Kent, it sounds like maybe you bolted straight through the top and bottom then since you used washers? Otherwise, how did you access the nuts and washers?

I'll need to mount 4 plates, 2 fore and 2 aft. For the fore ones, bolting through doesn't seem like it would work since the underside of the platform isn't parallel with the top.

Tom, I did ask the Tiara support person about access from inside the bilge and he said there wasn't any. Going to head down to the mooring today and take a look. Mine is the all in one molded into the boat platform. I don't recall being able to see inside the swim platform from the bilge but maybe it was foamed in. It would be great if that were the case. Do you know if the top side of the platform is plywood on yours?
