Mounting boat hook holder

So I bought a "rubber" boat hook holder at Fisheries yesterday and was wondering if I could/should use 5200 to attach it to my cabin and avoid the intrusion of a screw.

Thanks,
Warren

No experience with 5200 but have heard that 5200 is one product that is "too good "to use. If ever you might want to move it forget it with 5200. Have you thought about 4200?

Hey Warren, we just put our telescoping hook on the inboard side of the cabin top handrail... Why the need for a mount?

I put mine on the grab rail behind the open door fits perfect and always handy. michael

We've mounted two boat hooks under the coaming pockets, one on each side of the cockpit. I drilled holes for the mounts, "wetted them out" with West Systems epoxy and screwed them in place. Works great!

I screwed rubber boat hook holders up under the deck on the Cockpit. With rubber, I wonder about both 5200 and epoxies?

Like Captain's Choice, I have a pair of telescoping boat hooks that I simply lay on the inside of the grabrails on the top of the cabin. No hooks are needed. They can be easily accessed, and yet are out-of-the-way (taking up no room in the cockpit).

Sea Angel has a telescoping hook inside the cabin by the left door jam
where it is imediately available, inside from "borrowers", and out of the
way. I used metal SS clips screwed into the head bulkhead to secure
it in place.

There is a pix under my upgrades folder.

There is a down side to mounting the boat hook on the cabin top hand rail. I was trying to dock at a fuel dock for fuel. While walking around the side of the boat I missed a hand hold due to an oar stored in the same location. The girl at the dock was fairly impressed with my fully clothed swimming ability. Fortunately she had the bow line and kept the boat from drifting away. She asked if I had been boating long. Then my wife arrived and asked us both why I was all wet. As far as I know, there were no other known witnesses.

Warren,

FYI: We mounted ours not in the pockets, but UNDER the pockets. If you go this route I would like to offer two suggestions. One: mount the holders as near the hull as possible to prevent someone stepping on the molded step from dislodging the boat hook. I have never done this, but Marcia does with some regularity. Don't ask me how! Two: both of our boat hooks telescope and fit just fine in that location. However, mount the holders about a third of the way back from the cabin and forward of the aft end of the cockpit. I mounted one of the holders too near the cabin and that prevents the handle end of the boat hook from fitting in the holder. The handle end must be put aft. Not a big deal, but a nuisance.

Hope that this helps,

Nick

I'm with Michael on Stormy. I hang a boat hook on each of the grab rails on the cabin back. If you adjust the telescoping handle so it just scrapes the cockpit floor, it won't swing around in rough water. Inserting the hook from the outboard side of the grab rail makes it the most stable, and on the port side you can remove it without messing with the open door. The boathook's hook hangs low in the grab rail, so it does not interfere with grabbing the rail.

I hope this is the way to show where Sea Angel's boat hook is mounted. I
see it works as a link, now to figure out to have included. The above was
just a copy an paste before I started the reply... I could not come out of
the reply once I started typing and go back in.

Warren,

Right next to the door hinges, mounted vertically, doesn't get in the way of anything! Beckson clips, four screws, done deal.
