which through bores 91 carries a spring loaded clip ring 92 a typical cable or line is seen disposed through said clip ring 92 in fig1 a metal cap is seen to be threadedly engaged to an optionally tapered flexible fibreglass shaft 96 a circular threaded cap 95 is threadedly engaged to the threads 96 t of said shaft 96 an allen screw 94 ensures a tight engagement to the threads 96 t a pair of opposed linearly spaced open rings are welded at weld points 32 to the cap 95 the openings of said open rings face in opposite directions and as such cables and lines can either be passed through the openings from one end such as is illustrated by the disposition of cable 100 a cable can also be dropped down between the rings and then rotated 90 degrees to be retained within the spaced opposed open rings 93 in fig1 a tapered flexible rod 96 u2032 u2014 to differentiate it from the non threaded shaft of fig1 u2014 is seen to have a metal cap 97 glued or otherwise attached thereto a single open loop ring 98 with an upwardly positioned opening is welded thereto for retention of cables and lines in fig1 there is shown a lower cost version of this invention suitable primarily for smaller vessels in the 20 to 50 feet or so in length this embodiment 200 has a lower base 226 of a rectangular configuration similar to base 26 and is made preferably of stainless steel though.
