Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Montauk 17' 1986 Bow Chock Question

Posted by tking3 on 06/23/14 - 10:32 AM

I have a question I am going to replace the bow chock and light assembly on my 1986 Montauk 17'.

Before I install is there a need to fill factory holes to get a tight fit?

Im having a hard time figuring this out!

Thanks. Tim

The bow chock has nuts and bolts that go thru the bow lip so no need for a tight fit of the bolts.

follow-up question on bow chocks for this era Montauk: has anyone had their re-chromed? or is re-chroming not an option for this part?

Yes, they can be rechromed. I had 2 of them done at a local firm, and they look fantastic.
