Mounting Bow Cleat & Chocks

[Geekie1]

Thanks tsubaki,

You hit right on the mark with mounting the bow chocks. I thought that trying to deal with through bolts and nuts in the front access hatch would be a real PITA! I have a small tube of 5200 in the fridge that hasn't turned to stone yet. I am also thinking of installing a duplicate bolt pattern 10" nylon cleat under the deck (upside down) using the through bolts and nuts to tie the end of my anchor rode to. I currently have the end of the rode tied through a hole I drilled in the cuddy shelf. I don't like the hole tie-off arrangement much!!
