I looked at some prices and those are out. Any clue where I can buy the deck mount. I may drill out the piece that is broken in the deck and run some type of eye bolt thru it to get me by. Any ideas.

First read this article: https://marinehowto.com/bed-it-tape/

If the swivel at the base of the block still swivels you could use a shackle and a pad eye to reattach the block to the cockpit sole.

You'll want to use something like this for the shackle: http://www.marinepartdepot.com/ststlodsh3.html

And something like this for the pad eye: http://www.marinepartdepot.com/hedudipadeye.html

I just picked the specific pieces at random, you'll have to determine the correct size based on the dimensions of the block you have.

It is important that the block swivels to keep the loads inline.
