Question on cup holder install

[dtbrown]

I am putting in cup holders for a 90 SN which previously had none. I found a hole saw that is the perfect dimension. Once cut, what is the best means for securing the cup holder in place? Should I simply scuff up the gel coat and apply a sealant? If so, what sealant? Any help would be appreciated.

I would use a small bead of silicone adhesive sealant around the inside lip, it isn't going to take much to hold them in. You can get it at your auto store.

dt, if not thought of, you will want to check the UNDERSIDE of the deck to move any wires out of the way (or anything else). ER
