universal shaft strut?

[svfrolic]

I need to replace shaft strut on my sailboat and I was thinking about using one of this universal struts

The thing is I am more familiar with this type of strut which is bolted thru the hull like my old strut was. The problem is I couldn’t find strut with dimensions that would fit my boat so I think about the universal strut. The question is what would be the best way to attach it to the hull; just glass it in…?

Its a P bracket in English or sometimes an A bracket.

Frosty, thank you! Finally somebody pointed me in the right direction. I will see if it comes with the bracket. Do you know if that arrangement has any advantages against the traditional strut besides being easier to align?
