I have a 2000 Mac 26XWhat would you recommend to pull a "series of boat fenders" out of the water when I am underway (upper and lower attachment points on the fenders. lower hole and a 3/8" rope attached to each fender in series and when pulling it will lift the fenders away from the water). Are there guidelines as to drilling into the fiberglass in terms of drill bit size and screw size? I don't want to over-stress the fiberglass, yet I want it to be strong enough to do the job! Would the recommended method attach with a "wood screw", or must they be a nut/bolt/washer method? These would be placed somewhere accessible in the cockpit as far aft possible.
I was thinking of a small cleat or perhaps a cam cleat.
