[Rhodes22-list] Bow Chocks

[Graham Stewart]

Stephen:

I am not sure if this is what you want to know but I have attached a picture
of the deck hardware on the  foredeck of my 74 Rhodes just before I removed
it all for painting. All the hardware was bolted through the deck although
on my wooden boat, 1.5" screws are used. Personally I will be using bolts
when I replace the hardware. I don't like the idea of screws letting water
into the core, which seems inevitable to me, so I will drill through and
coat the hole with epoxy to seal it. Having had to replace the core in the
deck, a ridiculously huge job, saving a smidgen of time with screws has no
appeal to me.

Dear All,

I want to add a pair of chocks in the bow to prevent mooring lines chafing
against the forestay strap. Anyone know if they should be way forward,
adjacent to the strap or back between the bow pulpit stanchions? & do I need
through bolts or will 1.25" screws in the deck be strong enough?

Thanks in advance,

Stephen Staum
