M_Boats: Hardware Mounting / Level

[Honshells]

I don't want the waterline.  I want to level the boat on the trailer.  I'll explain.  I want to add a "moveable" gunwale-mount boarding ladder.  I want to be able to hang the ladder aft, not off the transom, but off the gunwale, to starboard.  I also want to be able to hang the same ladder forward, again, off the gunwale to starboard.  If I install mounting tabs flush with the deck, my ladder will hang askew due to the boat's shear.  So I need to install pads that will level the mounting tabs in relation to the way the boat will sit in the water and not in line with the shear.  I need to level the boat on the trailer close to the way it will sit in the water, so that I can get the mounting-tabs level to the way the boat will sit in the water.   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 7:59 PM Subject: Hardware Mounting / Level   In a message dated 3/18/2003 5:44:29 PM US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Or are you saying mark "level" while in the water, then Then take it out of the water and paint it on that line. It doesn't matter how level it is on the trailer. Loaded, in the water, will show you the real waterline. Sandy
