What is appropriate for a backing block for the front end of the hiking strap? I bought the kit from APS which is a Vanguard brand hiking strap and it came with 1 eyestrap and 1 metal plate with 4 blocks and very vague instructions. I bought some eyebolts to use for the rear end to go though the lip. I am planning to install an inspection port to get behind the front. What is appropriate to put on the inside of the boat? Right now I am thinking of using the metal plate on the front side bolting into 1" diameter washers on the back side. I assume that 2 plates would make sense but it only came with one plate. I am also thinking about going back to and picking up a set of eye bolts to use for the forward end and then using the plate inside the boat.
Thanks.
