<<bulkhead to bulkhead >> ! This would be REALLY long in many cases, 
therefore hard to carry.

is this welded into the "t" shape or how do you secure it?

    We have either seats we can wrap Kriptonite locks through or around the 
cheek strap where I pulled a seat out. If we didn't have those I might be 
tempted to do what Jack Martin did and implant a U bold into the deck for the 
cable. We lost one boat and don't aspire to a second loss.
