I was going to be off today, but being the good servant I am, I've been at the office since 6:30 >:(

I'm checking out now, gonna mow the grass and finish up the V. May try a little fishing around sunset if the wind lays down. I'll post more pics in the morning.

REEL, the toothpick idea worked great, thanks bud.

As for my lights, they were more work than the whole project. They are installed, but I'll have to get the wiring tomorrow.

Feeshin got blown out, so I did get to play in the yard, and with the V, till dark ;D

And I forgot, the pulpit is D O N E ! ;D

Re: Pulpit install / assembly...
 

Well guys, today was my day off, but spent most of the day on union issues before we offically sign off on it. So I didnt get as much as I wanted to get done, but at the same time I am still undecided as to where to put my cleats at. AIr was correct, the pulpit should be longer, I say at least six inches longer. But this is trial and error and make do with what ya got. *;)
I bought 4" bolts, but thought they would be to long, so I took them back and got 3" bolts, Well I think they are to short, so in the morning it will be back again to West Marine to switch out the bolts again. >:( My backing plate is slightly thicker then what AIR has, so maybe the 3" bolts works good for him. *???

General idea so far.

Wasnt thinking there Charlie, was thinking those bow chocks were for moring, but they are for anchoring. My bad. ;D. Guess they are going on the pulpit. ???

Re: Pulpit install / assembly...
 

You should have a cleat right in line with the roller! Right were you have the holder.
