Working Alone: bolts from cabin roof. To seal I made a small circle of 5200 on bottoms of flanges and around holes on cabin top. The handrails were suspended just above holes for fine alignment without smearing sealant.

Since NOTHING will adhere to Starboard, I used butyl tape between the bottom of the holes where they met the cabin top.. tight acorn nuts underneath with fender washers make a durable seal
