Mounting Bow Cleat & Chocks

[Geekie1]

Hi All,

I have a small problem and I am going to ask for your help. My V is currently in Cape May County NJ and I am in Doylestown PA, about 110 miles apart. My V has two small bow cleats that I use for docking lines. I have a 10" cleat that I want to install between the sliding hatch and the bow light to snub my anchor rode. I am also installing 2 anchor rode chocks to the port and starboard of the bow light. When I left NJ to return to PA, I forgot to check the thickness of the deck and now I don't know exactly what length bolts to buy. I don't want to make a 220 mile round trip to find out and I don't want to spend time shopping in the Cape May area for fasteners next weekend. How thick is the V deck?? My V is a 1984 model cuddy. Do I need to through bolt the bow chocks??
