Hi Jay,
That makes some sense having the option of pulling down low some times, instead of always from the bow. I want to add pulling points to the lower area of the stern, as well as to the very back of the rear MBT metal weldment.

Brent,
They were used to pull the sub onto a trailer and for tie-down.

Hello SMMO's,
I have been pondering what these flat connection bars are, that are bolted to the top front area of my double keel skids. I suppose you could winch the sub forward with them, but they feel, look, and sound like brittle zinc anodes. They were attached somewhat haphazardly. If anyone knows or would care to venture a guess, I'd like to figure it out?
I have not come across them in the K-250 plans. I was just going to remove them and attach a zinc anode just below them on the inside of the vertical plate of the skids.
Also notice that the port keel is skip welded at the base and the starboard side is solid welded.
