Re: Spring line cleats?
 

well if you need some one to go give me a call, I will brave it with you.
;)
and why the new cleats???

is Airslot going to be a "marina" queen??? ;D

Re: Spring line cleats?
 

I have a slip available to me, but I like the mobility, portability, of being on the trailer.

The new cleats are more for convenience. When returning to the dock I use one line that runs from stern to bow and just throw it over the pilings. It would be easier if I had a cleat about where the helm is.

That, and I have a little money that needs to be spent on the "V". Got some other mods in the back of the noodle as well. ;D

Horizontal. And it is right next to the helm seat so I can hang a fender while I'm pulling into the marina.

Slot, I put mine on a vertical surface so things(pine needles and other schmeg) don't become lodged there and accumulate...easier to get to also, especially from the helm ...

Reel, there is nothing but glass where your's are. Is that area strong enough to mount a cleat, with a backing plate or at least fender washers I assume?

Thanks,

Oh sure now that you are back home from the Hammerfest you are speaking Jack Danieleze, thank God Lefty helped me out or I might have developed a complex drinking alone.
Well probably not but I thought it for a second ;D

Re: Spring line cleats?
 

Slot, I used a backing plate of 1/4" aluminum and pretty confident it's quite strong...I wouldn't count on fender-washers here... ;) ...
