My M17, Sweet Pea, as aluminum toe rails and has chocks prior owner installed. They work fine. When I return to the shop from the arizona trip I'm currently on I'll take pictures to share. :: dave scobie :: m17 #373 sweet pea - www.m17-375.webs.com swwheatley@comcast.net wrote:
I am planning to keep my 1976 M17 (aluminum toe-rails) on a mooring this summer, but it is curiously bereft of bow chocks and I'm trying to decide what to do about that. The toe-rails are pretty smooth; do people just put some chafe gear on their mooring pendant and let it hang over the side? If not, what have people done to integrate bow chocks with the aluminum toe-rail? Photos of particularly elegant solutions would be appreciated. Thanks.
