: Thanks Malcolm,

: I went to the site, googled other images, but I just want to be
: sure.
: To mount these leash fittings, you'd drill a hole in a kayak deck
: and epoxy them in place? Flush to the deck, or even slightly
: raised?

: Will

I would assume that to be correct. I think I'd put a filet of epoxy around the inside of the fitting and then put a patch of glass on the inside to insure the fittings would be watertight. Would also mean that they'd be alot easier to mount on the deck prior to glassing the deck to the hull.
