[Rhodes22-list] Electric Lift Blues solved (for now)

[Jesse Shumaker]

Chris, thanks for letting me know.  If it has worked well for your many
adventures, then it must be a good setup! Just curious, what type of
backing board (material / thickness) did you use to mount the anchor
against the front of the lazarette?  How did you attach the backing board
to the lazarette?  I had considered epoxy, attaching with screws coming
back from the cockpit, fiberglassing, adhesive such as 5200, or some
combination of those approaches.  Suggestions from the crowd are welcome.
