Staples, glue and aluminum

Been working on a dingy lift for the swim platform. It has a 12 volt winch to raise the arms. Not quite sure where to place the winch. The end of the dingy with the motor is far heavier than the bow. Therefore it will have to be closer to the motor in order to balance. I put a lot of adjustment into it. We actually looked at purchasing one but nothing worked with our narrow platform. Even this will be awkward.

 At the same time I go down to the boat on Saturdays and rip out carpet. I see they used a combination of staples and carpet glue. I ordered a HD stapler gun.
