[Alberg30] Bow chock

[Dave Terrell]

I have a post 1970 boat and, to make room for a bow roller, I am
planning on moving them back to the toe rail area, removing a small
portion of the toe rail and attaching directly to the fiberglass.As far
as I can see through bolting is not a choice for me. There is a picture
of this solution on the site.I do not know where but George does - he
provided it for me when we were taking about bow rollers and bow sprits
last fall. It looks to me like a reasonable solution, especially if one
has a slip.

Thru bolting the chock...with a backing plate--that's the answer.  I
believe that's the way they were on Quest and they were over sized
chocks too.  I'll guarantee it won't pop off anymore.  When it gets over
loaded it'll just open up (yield). While thru bolting would solve you
pop off problem it's not the final solution.  There is none, chocks
aren't designed to support significant wave slap loading.  I'm not going
to do any calculations but I estimate thru bolting could provide an
order of magnitude improvement since to get failure the metal bolt must
fail versus the fiberglass in the screw joint.  

Think about it.

I like the idea of cutting out a section of the toe rail [older boats]
and
fitting a chock right to the deck. But this would require a lot of work
and
skill to make it look right and function well.
