Deck hardware layout on 222

[48dodge]

Does anyone have any good pictures of the hardware layout on a 222? A PO has added a couple things along the years and may have moved a thing or two. I would rather get it back to the original layout and add stuff that I need if necessary. I do have a spinnaker, but it'll be a while before I use that. On another note, I hadn't encountered any wet core throughout the entire boat until last night. I mean, the boat is 25 years old and some of the fittings looked like they may have never been rebedded. Anyway, I did find 1 spot under the front most support posts of the bow pulpit. And it didn't even extend too far outside of the holes I drilled. There was a little bit around the white running light on the stern as well, but it barely went outside the hole.

Is there any thing specific that you need pictures of? When I bought my boat new, I didn't want the winches and tracks where they were placing them on top of the cabin. I have mine on the combings. They had a cleat on the Starboard side of the cabin near the bulkhead for that cheap Schaeffer furler that came with my boat, so I removed that years ago. Outside of the handrails, winches & Tracks, lifeline stanchions, and the bow & stern cleats, there isn't really much more to it except the bow and stern rails. The stern rails that were suppose to be on my boat was another thing that I didn't want. If you get a chance to put a full stern rail on your boat, you ought to do it. O'Day only built 20 of their 222's with full stern rails, so I'm told. So far, I've talked to a girl in Columbus Ohio who owns a 1988 O'Day 222 with a full stern rail like mine. I'm getting a big kick out of doing mods on my boat right now while I'm getting her ready for the water in a couple of weeks. It's almost as much fun as sailing her. Let me know what it is that you want pictures of and I'll get them to you.

Deck Hardware 222

48 Dodge- Do these pictures help? If not, I have lots more I can send you.

Mitch, it looks like you have a few extra padeyes than what I had. Also, are your port and starboard layouts the same? The reason I ask is I have a fairlead on either side and one is about 2' ahead of the other. Anyway, if anyone is feeling industrious, I'd like pictures of the bow area, along one side of the deck, and a stern corner. I had a clip or something on the cockpit step that I think was added by a PO because of the backing plate used.

OK, here's my layout. I plugged everything back to make sure I had a place for everything.

Remember that I have a spinnaker so some of this hardware might be related to that. If it is, I'll install that stuff later on since I don't plan on flying it for a while. No furler. I was thinking maybe the fairleads were for a furler. The PO may have removed it...

Don't know what these could possibly be for. There's a non-matching cleat on the other side.

Here's one of the fairleads

And the other. You'll notice this one is several feet aft of the other one.

Original?

Oh yeah, another fairlead

I'm not seeing this on any other 222s. Same thing on both sides.

Last but not least. There seems to be an identical fitting on the boom at about the correct distance back to meet up with this one. I know the cleat is supposed to be there.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Another question is HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU GET TO THAT CLEAT ON THE STARBOARD STERN!?!?!? If I can't figure something out, I'm going to drill it out and move it up a bit to where I can actually get to it.
