ANCHOR ROLLER/PULPIT 4 CUDDY

[macojoe]

I have a dog, and he will run up there and throw the anchor for me!!
But you have to feed them well! But I have good news for you, I saved a bunch of money on my car Ins. with GEICO!! *;D

Macojoe, BIG SH!T, Any dog can throw an anchor.

Can he fetch one?

Hey Seakindly...

look on The Hull Truth...lotta info under thread called bow pulpit

if you're not familiar w/it, it's thehulltruth.com...almost as much fun as this site, but not quite....

Thanks RaP, been there, done that, it was helpful.

But the steplift cuddy design presents it's own special challenge to installing this type of setup ???.

I have obtained the materials for my beastly solution. Tomorrow, I drill :o.

Don't be scared young Jedi Knight. Drill away.
Hopefully BigS sends you that camera soon so you can so us pics of your project. ;D

[macojoe]

Drill away!! its only fiberglass!! If not right the fill and drill again!!

It will be right, and a fine example of beastly ugly overkill. ;D

Hey Seakindly, I see in the new pictures that 70wellcraft posted in the gallery, he's got a pulpit on the bow of his boat. Have you already started drilling yours?

Believe it or not, I just finished mounting the bow lights today. I enjoy doing this stuff, but it takes me FOREVER.

All I have left to do is install some seafoam starboard as a veneer around the base of the aluminum platform that spans the forward sliding hatch cover. Purely for cosmetics, the system is functional at this time.

I am lookin forward to posting some pictures, soon. This project turned out to be much more complicated and expensive than I had originally envisioned (They always do). Overkill. It may not have even been necessary, but I am sure it will give me many years of fine service.

Overkill's not a bad thing. There's a tremendous amount of strain that's applied to the end of that roller and you certainly don't want it pulling through your deck then having a bigger project on your hands.
Can't wait to see the pics.
