Getting bags to the ends

You can pull your float bags, or your luggage, into the ends of your boat easily if you build in a corrosion resistant ring or a pulley (aluminum, brass, bronze, stainless steel, etc). at each end. Run a rope through this and attach one end of the rope to your gear. Pulling on the other end gets the bage all the way into the end. Tie off the rope to keep it from later shifting places. A second rope attached to the other end of your bag will make it easier to retrieve from those recesses.
