[Rhodes22-list] Bow Chocks

[Graham Stewart]

Rummy is probably right. There is no wood core in the edge that can rot
anyway and the fibreglass is quite thick there. So that would not be a
concern. If you decide to do that I would countersink slightly the screw
holes in the gel coat and bed the chock carefully as you will otherwise
probably get spider cracks in the gel coat around the screws over time.

Go ahead and mount them on the edge with screws. Just use a good bedding
compound to seal them.

Putting the chocks on the edge would be ideal but just  about impossible
without major work as you indicated. The chocks worked for  me where they
are shown but I did need to use some chafe guards on the rope  to avoid
rubbing on the edge. I attached about 1 foot of plastic tubing to  the lines
with plastic wire ties and that seemed to work well. It would be  nice if
there was a metal piece that might be attached to the edge but I  haven't
seen anything like that. Others may have better  ideas.

Thanks Graham. I  can easily use thru bolts in that position. I was thinking
that I had to  mount on the outer raised edge & the interior must be
disassembled to  create access to the bolts. As long as your position will
keep the pennants  clear of the forestay strap, I am good to do it there.
