Thanks for the info. Re; mounting under the Monty.
I was aware of that option, but I opted out because I realized that if it was mounted under the rear it may be restrictive because so many times we find a spot that we back into or nearly up against a barrier or curb or trees, etc. Then I thought about mounting under the front section, but I just didn't like the idea of always requiring my tow vehicle be unhooked to pull the boat out.
And lastly, anything mounted under the trailer must be or should be in a totally closed container [drawer or such]. Otherwise the stored device will encounter all the bad weather and all the road oils and rubber and whatever else debris skims under our vehicles.
So it will be the exterior mounting for me. I am not worried about leaks since a small bit of sealer around the thru bolts will do the job [think about all the perforations in our roof that is sealed].
Anyway still looking for stud finding ideas.
An regarding the Porta-bote the thing only has one problem according to our deep research; That being the boat usually outlives its owner!
Thanks for your help.
Jim
