Mother of all mods 003 I had bought some stainless steel hooks years ago and never used them because of the fabric headliner material in my cabin. The only quick solution for using them was to screw them to small square pieces of 1/4" plywood and cementing Velcro to the backs. It works. You need to buy the Velcro in an automotive store. Regular Walmart Velcro really isn't strong enough to hold boat poles.

Mother of all mods 001 I call this The Mother of all mods." It turned out to be one of the most clever and easy mods I've ever to this boat. Why didn't I think of this one before? We're looking aft in that Starboard quarter birth cubby hole. That rear plywood bulkhead used to extend up into that inside combing and I remember removing it years ago when I refinished all my woodwork but I couldn't remember if there was any useful space in there. So I figured that if I could remove that bulkhead I could find out real quick. I've always needed a place to hang my boat hook and just recently my friend Del Grindle gave me a nice Forespar Whisker pole which is about 6.5' when it's closed. At any rate, I removed the bulkhead and cut it. I made a Teak cap rail for it and like a dumbbell I decided to cover it with rug. I could have done the same thing with pine! Oh well. Some days you just can't win for losing. :)

DSC00738 In the picture you see my traveler, and manual bilge pump. Also pictured is the mount for my galley table which has a similar mount down below on the galley cabinet. By the way. I replaced that Nic Fico Traveler with a Harken rope and pulley traveler last summer of 2012. What a difference that made on my boat! The pump handle is detachable and the plate is inserted back in the hole. I've never had to use this pump. Thank the good Lord for small favors.
