Hey Sailors,
I would like to mount a Harken 240 Base Bullseye w/Swivel on the front outer lip edge of my Super Porpoise tub. I would mount it on a flat area if there were one available. Here are the options I am considering. The limited area on the outer lip will force one screw to hang over the lip of the boat.
1. Carve out a piece of wood or something? to fit the lip edge put some holes through it and screw it in.
2. Find a Nylon bushing to act as a standoff for the 1 screw hanging over the edge.
3. Go with a block and swivel base that mounts to the vertical side of the Tub where a cleat currently mounts.
4. Make an L bracket that attaches to the side of the tub and provides a flat platform to mount the Swivel.
Please suggest any kind of design or materials.
Also, I am not sure if the extra fiberglass in the corner will hold the base down. Will I need to add a backing block?
Thanks in Advance for your answers
