[Rhodes22-list] Anchoring

[Peter Nyberg]

Mitch,

Theres a thread back in April of 2013 about mounting bow chocks that may have some useful info.  You can start here: http://www.rhodes22.org/email-archives.html

If you mount the chocks to the toe rail, which I think would be the way to go, there would be no way to use a backing plate.  But the toe rail is solid fiberglass, so there's no worry about water seeping in to damage a wooden core.  

At least I'm pretty sure that's true.  I'm mostly posting this to encourage others to offer opinions  on mounting options.
