Here on the port side the aft ss bolt was removed from the bowsprit / anchor roller mounting brkt to temp install a black reg 3/8" X 3" bolt for installing the stiffner brkt's from there to the ancor locker
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... 64cc9d.jpg

here is the inside veiw from underneath of the floatation chamber that surounds the ancor locker u can see the stiffner brkt installed between the hull & the ancor locker this will all be attachhed to the rear mounting brkt . the right bolt is coming through from the ancor roller mounting brkt & hull then accross to the ancor locker sidewall this means everything is attached to the deck & hull below the deck hull joint thus releaving any stress from the deck hull joint

this is all just temp. installed once fitted properly then have to make sure these brkt's will fit the starboard side before marking & drilling the S/B side brkt's & once the inside ancor locker angle mounting brkt's angles have been determined & measured everything will have to be removed to cut these brkt's

then checked for exact fit then all re-installed this part of the process is very time consuming climbing in & out of the boat a hundred times

, then onto the front brkt for completion & installation a little more accessible up front above the bow eye access panell the ancor locker brkts r accessed through one 5" round access panell on each side a big pita I may see if I can buy a wall access panell from home hardware the kind u buy for ur house walls for about 20$ be much easier for further access & re-installing the floation

Truck hinges. Brilliant! So they did almost fall off the back of a truck, then.

So how did you come across them in that stage of (dis)assembly? Is there a plant near you?

Nice work as usual.

Progress was slow this wk-end , bought more Alum material 65$ , SS hardware $130.00 fri morn , then spent the rest of Fri & Sat with my Daughter & granddaughter

So back @ it on Sun morn started with a peice of Alum Angle 6" X 6" 3/8" thick for the front mounting brkt

Now back to the rear mounting brkt's access is through two previous installed 6" deck plates
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... 425e5d.jpg

These have now been removed & replaced with a 17" X 17" house wall access panel 21$ giving me lots of room for access for this & many more if needed future mods this also makes it a lot easier to remove & re-install the floation

Here's the panel frame

Here u can see the peice that came out of th slot cut out as u can see the anchor locker lid has a balsa wood core so after I cut the slot out a little more wider then it will have to be resin core the edges to seal them from the water
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... 6c253f.jpg

under the locker lid the center brkt here is just a proto brkt will be replaced with a one peice brkt once I buy more 3" alum angle will post that next wk-end

When you're done it'll be solid enough that you'll be able to put it to good use in the off-season, John.

Well bought more material 16" X 3" x3" x 1/4" thick Alum Angle yesterday Fri , & today sat got right back into it freezing my butt off inside both my shops as I'm toooooooooo, cheap !! to heat the joints !!

,

anyway made & finshed off the inside brkt's for the anchor lock
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... ab1187.jpg

The brkt looks un-even & lop-sided just due to the angle the pic was taken
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... e8d619.jpg

S/B inside locker side brkt
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... 0e3e44.jpg

port side inside locker brkt
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... a93c4d.jpg

httNew one peice inside locker center brkt

http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... 036e50.jpg

http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... b61ff6.jpg

This is the complete brkt's assembly it is a 9 peice alum brkt's & 4 plastic "cutting board" backing plates that once assembled altogether inside the boat it all bolts together bringing the hull on both sides & the anchor locker walls making them a one peice assembley so their is no stress on the deck or deck joint

Well got to weld the two end cut-out slots on the center brkt , then paint the inside anchor locker brkt's then the rear brkt's r ready to install along with the front hinged mounting brkts , so tomorrow Sun I have to make the top swivel mounting plates & premount everything to make sure it all lines up perfect , then maybe hopefully next wk-end or the one after if it ever warms up

this monkey needs one more monkey one outside the boat & one inside to install this contraption Oh & a third monkey to be the gofer for the other two monkeys bringing the hardware & Beers & be the center comunication guy passing the Buck back & forth , I said right u dumb A$$ no u'r other right ,S/B > u hear S/B no thats port ur looking @ the Aft of the boat instead of the Bow

here's the top mounting brkt with the front hinges mounted with temp pre install fit
http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab1/ ... 2fc36b.jpg

Here's the top swivel plate it had to have timed slots made into it so as it can turn from center to either port or starboard anchor rollers
