Pulpit install / assembly...

Hammer, lenght is no longer an issue. By mounting the cleats on the side, I can use the longest anchor I can fine. All is well.

I think I would use this thingy and put the cleat sideways in the center if it will fit.

Or you could use one of the "rope guides" in this picture (on the right of the pic). Put the "guide on the pulpit and put one cleat on each side of the boat so that you could use them like cleats from standing on the dock.

I don't know......might be too spread out when you are anchoring.
 
Ok, AIR has me pumped, gonna try and do some work on her. Need a hot shower to wake up and I'll be out there stairing it. ;D
 
No luck on working on it tonight AIR. Last minute Union talks before I sign the contract in the morning. Gotta get all the wording right ;)

Well, I think I am gonna go with this set up. Whatya think. ?

Hammer, move the cleats back to straddling your middle bolt hole.  You don't want the pull from the rode being anymore sideways on the roller than neccesary, my opinion of course.

Otherwise, I love it. ;) Are those 8" cleats?
 
Sounds Good Air, will move them back to the middle hole. Yes, they are 8" cleats. Paid $12.95 for each. Good/bad, fair price ??, oh I wanted them. ;D
 
I was going to be off today, but being the good servant I am, I've been at the office since 6:30 >:(

I'm checking out now, gonna mow the grass and finish up the V. May try a little fishing around sunset if the wind lays down. I'll post more pics in the morning.
 
Ya'll havin' so much fun w/these pulpits, I'm gonna get one and I can't even USE one!!... ::) ... love the toothpicks, Slot...how'd they work out??...didja let cure and then torque??...
 
Far as I'm concerned MJ, you and CB are royalty; your Highness ;D

REEL, the toothpick idea worked great, thanks bud.

As for my lights, they were more work than the whole project. They are installed, but I'll have to get the wiring tomorrow.

Feeshin got blown out, so I did get to play in the yard, and with the V, till dark ;D

And I forgot, the pulpit is D O N E ! ;D
 
Well guys, today was my day off, but spent most of the day on union issues before we offically sign off on it. So I didnt get as much as I wanted to get done, but at the same time I am still undecided as to where to put my cleats at. AIr was correct, the pulpit should be longer, I say at least six inches longer. But this is trial and error and make do with what ya got.  ;)
I bought 4" bolts, but thought they would be to long, so I took them back and got 3" bolts, Well I think they are to short, so in the morning it will be back again to West Marine to switch out the bolts again. >:( My backing plate is slightly thicker then what AIR has, so maybe the 3" bolts works good for him.  ???

General idea so far.
