anchoring a CD-25

Bob, it's in the "Installations sub-album" Here... It'll bring it up too if you click on the faint blue "these" in Matt's post, hard to see....

Thanks Charlie, my "these" link was hard to see.

Speaking of pictures, when are you going to add some Tomcat pictures to your album?
 
As soon as I start using the boat again! :lol: Snow here today, not much by my usual standards but white and the birds are very nervous!

Come out to SBS next year, I'd like to meet you!

I have been looking for something to work in the above situation for a while. Saw a device made by a company called "Newfound Metals" called a Cleat Chock. think it might work here. 3 sizes, all stainless. Sorry I can't bring the photo over but will try putting the link here:

and hope it works. $39 and change each but looked pretty stout when I saw them at the boat show. the company is in Port Townsend, WA

Charlie, Thanks--It looks as if the line could hit against the edges of the plate, if they lead to one side. Is this a problem?

Harvey--interesting device. I see it has 3/8" studs, 2" long, so you need good access under the deck--and probably best to make a backing plate. Let us know how these work out. The rounded edges should avoid chafe on the line.
 
Hi Dr. Bob,

You are right, I think it should have a backing plate too. They do come in 3 sizes, and the 8" is the small one. I am looking forward to putting these on the bow to use with a bridle for anchoring or towing if needed. By the time I get that done I may have some pictures too.
