1/2 inch plywood is nowhere near thick enough to securely hold lag bolts or screws. Mounting plates are available right here on iBoats. You then install machine screws through the pedestal base, the floor, and into the plate located beneath the floor. You install the plate through the hole under the pedestal.

Hi, thanks for the info. I am not sure how those fasteners work but they look like it will hold pretty good. It says for use with the garelick type pedestal. Would they work for the fixed height pedestals as well you think? Example:
