Certified Rehab Posted November 9, 2016 Report Posted November 9, 2016 Has anyone added a Hawes pipe midship and a cleat on the interior? Or has anyone added a midship popup? When they install them at the factory how do they do it?
slyshon Posted November 10, 2016 Report Posted November 10, 2016 There is not much structural strength in the gunnel boards, that is why we do the cleats like we do. Would not mount a pop up in the gunnel board. We build in backing material for the MS cleat during lamination, gives it the strength it needs. Skip
fin-addict Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 brother added a popup midship cleat to his 02 22 pathy. had a pathydealer do the install, very simple. came with a backing plate setup.
SCFD rtrd. Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 Had my mid-ship cleats installed at the factory. They are in the gunnel (not gunnel boards) adjacent to the lockable rod lockers. There is room to install them after the fact. If you look into the rod locker, there is about 3" of room to work between the top of the rod locker inserts and the gunnel.
Robert3 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 I mounted a pair of spring line pop ups in the gunnel brd. I never expect to put a lot of strain there, sometimes I just hang a bumper from it if it doesn't need to be sprung.. It was a straight forward install using a rotozip tool. As said it comes with a backer plate, just make sure there is enough room for it to sit flat on the underside.. Easy Breezy
