New Cheek Material
Given the salt air environment, would the new pieces be perhaps better if cut from aluminum? Whatever the material I would want to bed the pieces in sealant, like Boatlife LifeSeal (clear). It seems like that would also lower the chance of corrosive alliance with the SS fasteners.
Come to think of it, just use aluminum bolts and nuts for the two rear-most thru bolts -- it's not like one would remove them very often.
Or... ya know... Titanium...
