Just trying to be helpful here - you probably should seal those screws and holes with epoxy, 3M 4200, or even 3M 5200 to prevent water from wicking into the fiberglass deck coring. :shock: Here's a link to more information on this subject than you likely need or want:

*edit - the holes left over from removing the prior seating may need some attention too.

You can buy waterbed mattress caps if you don't ever locate them. I had the same problem-they fit just fine.
