Hi Allen.

The bronze ring is different from my deal in that mine is a little glassed-on vertical coaming, and the boot goes OVER it, covering it completely, and is made fast to it by a hose clamp (or in my case, heading twine), so that I don't have screws going down into my deck. If I was good at this I'd post a pic.
With what does Ian clean up excess shoe goo, I wonder?
