Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 1978 Outrage V20 cooler chocks

Hello,

I recently bought a 1978 v20 that was missing the front cooler chocks, cooler and cushions. I just ordered the parts from specialty marine, but am already thinking about how the install will go.

Is it pretty safe to drill into the deck at the width these chocks are recomended for (using a 94 quart igloo)?

Are there any good tips, photos or drawings anyone can point me to?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Take a look through the members personal pages.

Scroll down to the 20' models and then the years, 1977-1986

Here is one:

1977 through early 1986 are the same hulls with the removable bow steps.

The cleats should look like this or similar:

Thanks Joe, that helps, i figure if they line up with the old screw holes I should be safe! Hopefully this all makes sense when i get them in hand.
