I can get a photo next weekend but it looks much like the ones others have posted to secure the ram, a substantial marine plywood shelf glassed over and securely tabbed to the hull interior. The ram pokes through the cockpit well wall and has a rubber flap on both sides to keep water intrusion to a minimum. I don't actually see any water get in through that small hole.
