Here we go finish at last, Its cold and I quit at 6 PM its freezing :) 60 degrees ! Don't laugh ! Can't believe I am saying this..
I modify the Bow rail to follow the anchor platform like I have seen it on boats with this kind of setup. Angle grinder with a cutting wheel used to cut the pipes it cuts like butter ! As for the 90 degree elbow in the middle of the rail, I will build a mount for a 360 remote flood light or spotlight whatever its called, sometime in the future when the price is right :) The wires will be fish through the rail into the cuddy for a clean look. I use the Bow rail I purchase a while back from a member on this site about two years ago.. Notice all the screws are mounted completly through the platform and the deck with aluminum plates inside for extra strength. I will never have a chain or rope attach full time, to protect my gel coat, using a clip I will connect the rope prior to launching (stay tune one of my co-captains will launch it without any rope attach I just know it ) Opps I just notice I did not remove the plastic tie strap I use to secure the anchor during the installation. As for the 12" cleat it will be handy when trying to lace a 1/2 " rope ? Paid $60 at West on ebay its 2 for 35 but hey I was in the get it done mode ! And YES I hate working with 5200 ! Only acetone cleans it ! Hey my lights am I good ? Not sure now looking at it .. Seat completion next ! Bow Rail before the modification Picture from a year ago ..Observe the teak before and after..     Please excuse the dust , I did now clean up after my work my bad, Yes 5200 still showing two left screws !

looks great ny, i might have missed it, but why not install a deck pipe and run the chain & rode down to the anchor locker in the bow. i used to do a lot of diving and i don't feel comfortable without at least 25 or 30 feet of chain.
neat install, i like the backing plates...

Looks great! I like the look of that size. Can you tell me the dimensions length and width? That is my next project on mine when I bring it home next month. I am also thinking about the kind of pulpit where the anchor goes through ( don't know what it is called) so I can use my existing bow light.
