    Deck Mounted Anchor Chocks

    Really stupid question: What actually holds the anchor "tang" or "shaft" down in a set of deck mounted anchor chocks. I have never used this before but have common sense enough to figure how it sits in, the fluke tips come to rest in the two triangular receivers, then the shaft lays into the...
