I looked  at my bow chocks just now and they are neither on nor set 
into the  toerails. They are inside the rails, through-bolted onto blocks 
of teak  that are the same height as the rails. There are chromed brass 
pieces  screwed to the rails on which lines rest, avoiding line-to-wood 
chafe of  the rails and the lines.

Looks like a good installation  to me. Does not stress the rail at all.

That sounds like an ideal chock arrangement. If Stargazer's chocks had been  
mounted that way, they probably would never have pulled out in the first  
place!!!!!! :)
