After wrapping up varnishwork on the new anchor platform over several previous days, I moved forward with its installation. I double-checked the platform's position, then drilled and tapped the four bolt holes to secure it. Then, I installed the bronze anchor roller at the end, using bronze machine screws and the supplied tapped bronze backing plates, and bolted in the anchor shank bracket further down.
I installed the platform in a bed of sealant with bronze fasteners and, at the after end, a sturdy fiberglass backing plate along with large washers.
At the stem, I reinstalled a bronze chock on the starboard side. The placement of the anchor platform precluded an obvious mounting location for the port chock.
Along with some final odds and ends, a late addition to the job list was to apply a couple maintenance coats of varnish to the other exterior woodwork, so I sanded the handrails, companionway, and coamings, masked off as needed, and applied the first maintenance coat.
