Hi all, Tom asked about bolting fittings to a rotomoulded boat and Dave Seng suggested a sealant. Make sure also that there's a large diameter washer on the inside to spread loads. As for the decklines, use real rope, at least 6mm. There was recently a ruckus here when the owner of a CD Storm complained to the manufacturers about the 4mm decklines on it: remember 6mm is the accepted minimum, and bigger is better. (For the Australian 'standards', see <www.canoesa.asn.au/ed/seakayak.html>.)
