- '88 Cape Dory 28 Flybridge #115
This idea may help others in the same boat (!) I was in. Very limited storage, little usable space under the cockpit hatches, No Rail, like on Sailboats to bolt to...You guys with bigger boats likely don't have this problem, but cramming cruising gear into a 28' boat can be a challenge!!
I bought a 3' Rectangular 2x4" bar of 1/4" wall aluminum. Fabbed up some end caps, Hooks, hangers, and a pad for mounting my 2hp Honda. Powdercoated and installed yesterday. Should do the job without taking up valuable storage space as well as provide some hangers for dock lines etc..
Doesn't really intrude on usable cockpit space when mounted here..
(also just replaced some very weathered teak flybridge and side steps with Anti-skid Starboard...)
