All it did was sandwich the extrusion and a bolt through the holes in the extrusion clamped it in place. Maybe something similar would work: Two blocks of wood shaped to fit up to the toe rail with bolts clamping them to it. Then you have a flat surface for the chock. I'm not sure what the bolt spacing it on the rail, but perhaps a pair of them could be removed with longer ones that would pass through the chock, the block, the rail and the deck edge. Just a thought. If you didn't want wood to maintain, substitute the material of your choice. BuscaBrisas has teak toerails and someone trimmed them back a wee bit to make room for the chocks: http://www.trailersailor.com/uploads/bowcalm.jpg http://www.trailersailor.com/uploads/bowstark.jpg Tod _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
