Anyone know the thickness of the deck at the bow of a Mark I (1988)? I am thinking of installing an anchor lock aft of my bow roller and possibly a pair of cleats and it would be nice to know the thickness before I start drilling. Thanks

Approx 1 and a quarter inches.  I added a new bow roller to my 88 2 weeks ago and although I did not measure this is about right.

I agree on the thickness. One thing to look out for is that there is no core and the fiberglass gets thin as it transitions to the anchor locker. We put our anchor lock on that sloping transition, below the locker door.

Thanks for that info. I'll either put the anchor lock on the flat behind the roller just before the slope begins or maybe look at putting it on the slope like 2ndwish....

Jeff : I'd guess at 1 1/2" thickness.
