Stability of Bulkhead 8?
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2013 5:31 pm
I've found a really great place to mount some cabin speakers: bulkhead 8. Here, they'll look and sound great, the wires will run in the laz and through the conduit under the sole (so out of sight), and can even provide some volume for the cockpit. The holes are 4 1/2" each.
In addition, as I've mentioned in a prior post, I'd like to install 6" deck plates on both sides, too, for access to the laz area. With these changes, I'll be removing perhaps 25% of the total area of bulkhead 8. It should remain watertight with careful sealing, which is the broader reason for being this here, but is there any other reason (such as structural?) that this is a bad idea?
