Another Deck Plate Post

Any update from those that installed the T-H marine 6" twist off plates. How are they holding up? I see Great Lake skipper has the temptress Parker 6" twist off plates. Trying to decide between the two. Thanks!

Have you seen this? Looks like the T-H marine screw holes don't line up so if you are considering replacing a Tempress with T-H, you may have to fill the old holes and drill new ones.

One item is thickness of the O ring. Some are small and not very thick. Others have larger diameter and have more surface contact.
Materials use for make O rings is another factor.

Yes. My understating is that you only have to fill the old mounting screws and drill new. The overall cutout in the deck is the same.
