OR worse have the cradle rotate just as you are putting the boat on it and the bolts scar or pop your hull
I put a block of wood with holes drilled out for the bolts and rubber cemented this on the bottom of the cradle[/quote]
The bolt heads are the countersunk,(45* angle heads). After drilling the holes in the PVC, put a countersink gizmo in your drill, & cut an “inverted pyramid” into the PVC. The Bolt head sits just below the surface of the PVC, & cannot contact anything.
The other end of the Bolt is slightly shorter than the thickness of the 2x2. A small hole accommodates the bolt shank, a larger one appx 3/4” deep, accepts the nut, keeping it below the surface. There is nothing that can score the hull.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Feb 14, 2019 - 08:20 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
