My boat came equipped with some devices specifically designed for this
purpose. They are held to the underside of the gunwales with two small
screws. They are fashioned out of flat stainless steel bent over to form a
shallow hook that is not sufficiently pointed or sharp to gouge you or other
materials. I have not looked for them, so I can't advise where they are
available.

Hi,

I have a 14 foot dijon fishing boat normally kept in garage. This year
we will be leaving it on the loch so decided to make a hap/tarp for it.
We got a strong plastic cover, measured it and put eyelets every foot
or so round edges and threaded 5mm bungee cord through it.

Now the question...

What is the best way to attach it to the boat?

We thought single screw in hooks every foot or so round the gunnels,
but they would twist, then we thought about cleats every foot or so to
strech the bungee down over,

Anyone any ideas, is there a special name for these "hooks"

Kinda new to this so thanks to anyone who can help.
