So today Charlene and I cleaned out the cabin. For the first time. I never went thru it all as thoroughly as we just did. I filled it with stuff during the move here to Wisconsin. So now everything came out. I got many questions answered but a few more surprises came up. I didn't know we have an anchor locker. But now that I found it and very old rope. How do you put it all away and not get the bed wet? Here's what we found.
The square checkerboard hatch is an access panel and the anchor hatch is below that. It is the rectangular shaped checkerboard pie e that comes up.
This is what is behind the square checkerboard.
The steel bar goes straight up and down.
This is looking down to where it attaches to the hull.
And this is looking up to where it goes thru the top of the boat.
This is what it attaches to. The all thread twists just a little with this odd shaped cleat.
The bottom attach point does NOT appear to be where the bow eye goes inside. The bow eye is about a foot lower. The previous owner had the "bitter end" of the anchor line tied to that steel rod. So still I sit a bit confused as to the function of all this and it's designed use. :huh:
