I just had a four foot section at the bow replaced by the local boat 
yard. The section was ripped off because the mooring line was 
continually lifting the chock up until the stainless steel bolts gave. 
On mine a 1968 the chock was mounted directly on the toe rail. The chock 
came up ripping the section from the deck. With the repair I had the 
chock moved off the toe rail onto a block of teak inboard on the deck. 
The total cost, I just paid the bill on Monday, was $646, for materials 
and labor.  It was expensive, but I could not do it as nicely as *the 
boatyard's* Master *Carpenter*.
