Here is a drawing but I'll also try to describe it. The boat is a 17' Aleutian (handcrafted) with a 24" x 17" cockpit. The 2x4 is just a little longer than the 24", say 28", just so it hangs and has enough to lay on the inverted inside of the boat (bow to stern). The 2 spacers extend down from the 2x4 to flush with the top of the cockpit rim. For my application I just pegged and glued to 2x4 blocks together and then pegged and glued them to the 2x4 inside the boat. Then drilled a 3/8" hole through all for the carriage bolts. I have a Yakima rack to which I U-bolted two 2x4's laterally with matching 3/8" holes for the carriage bolts and wingnuts. The rack is not in the drawing. Hope this isn't more confusing......bob klemick [demime 0.92b removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of roofassy.jpg] *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Aug 07 2000 - 15:27:46 PDT
