[Public-List] Mooring and Bollard Bitts (Gordon Laco)

[Gordon Laco]

Hi Greg - 

I don't know the difference between a mooring and a bollard bit.  Both
should have rounded corners in my experience.

I'll try to find a picture of SURPRISE's foredeck to send you.  The bitt
isn't in place yet but you'll see where it will go.

Stand by - Gord
