Agree. Touche' has different but functionally equivalent pedestal guard. I just lifted up the guard, sealed the hole in the deck with clear LifeSeal and replaced the guard. Creates a bit of an issue if you need to pull new or remove old cables but not a dealbreaker. Just have to lift the guard, clean out the sealant and re-seal.
Remember, you only need to seal the hole in the deck. Dennis C.
