I know on my 1989 they used brown starboard or whalerboard. It is shaped into a little "V" about 12 inches long... The easiest way to determine the shape of the wedge is to make a pattern out of cardboard. You will see exactly how the piece should form around the non-skid section and the bow by making this pattern using a piece of cardboard. Edited by Joe Kriz on 09/25/06 - 2:25 PM

I answered your other question on the pulpit shim in another post. The shim is actually longer than I originally guessed. It is almost the full width of the teak pulpit minus the rounded edges of the pulpit....
