Three pics here. One is of a cleat like thing that I would assume is
to
guide a mooring line to keep it in place. What's it called, and
what's
it
used for.

Second pic, of the configuration of my bow reel. I think it would be
better
if the vee landing would be below the d ring, as when I come in, I'm
usually
floating higher than the rubber pulley. Total reconfiguration and
location,
but not a problem. Should the bow eye on the boat be below or above
the
receiving vee?

Last thing, oxidized aluminum. How to treat? Sand it off, and repaint
with
what, and seal with Sharkhide, I would ass-u-me.

Thanks in advance, and sorry to take you all away from your politics.

May also want to give Steve some tips on spray painting.

Nice scrub land. Wonder where the nearest water is...

Lots of water in Southern Utah. Rivers and very large lakes. Mead,
Powell,
and probably a few smaller lakes.

Isn't Mead a pond now?

A really big pond.

I haven't been down there in a long time, but I'd like to. I have memories
going back to the 50's regarding beaches and water lines, and "stuff".
