Yup, looks like 3 hole (on either side, so 6 hole total) simrad caps were used in service. The TMA simrad cap I have is the same way, but not drilled all the way through. With the angled sides of both the cap pictured and the TMA cap, hard to see any but the center screw holes being used, as using either of the end holes would offset the cap off the bottom ring. That would not be an issue on the caps with squared sides, I don’t think.Is your Simrad cap an original?
If so there you all have it. That's got one thru hole. So that would confirm that there are blind holes, a single thru hole and as the ones being made have a dual holes. Supposedly even three holes.
