: So which fittings did you end up going with?

Here is a pic that I posted last week of the recessed deck fittings. I'm not using the eyeletes or the hooks - they are too small, and i'm afraid of them breaking. So i'm just using the one with the straight cross-bar for everything. To solve the hookless problem I will use a combination of webbing, rope, and shock-cord. The assembly will be like this starting from the port side (left) shock cord, d-ring, about 1.1/2" of webbing, buckle, webbing, d-ring, then finally rope. I want the one side fixed with rope so that the center of the buckle will always remain close to the center of the hatch cover. This weekend I will post a picture of this assemlby.
