In Response To: Re: Strip: fittings Maroski (Ric Moodie)

I disagree on a couple of points:

First, slack deck lines and a liability when you're trying to control a boat during a rescue. Tight, raised deck lines that can be easily grabbed with gloved hands are the best way to go.

Second, it seems that it would be easy to add a 1/4" - 3/8" wood pad on top of the deck where the fitting comes through to raise the deck lines. Although I currently use wooden balls on my deck lines to raise them, the pad idea would be more elegant and could be designed to either blend with or accent the deck wood.
