Has anyone installed or thought about adding an additional deck cleat towards the aft of their boat? It seems at times, especially when pulling into a fueling dock that an additonal top mounted cleat would be better than having to deal with the Hawse Pipe towards the aft...
In doing so, what would be the best way to reinforce the underside of the gunnel in that area? It seems too thin to just attach a 10" cleat to it. Would a chunk of 1/2 inch Starboard underneath be sufficient in adding thickness to the installation? Slap it in there with some 5200 with through bolts and nylon lock nuts.... Your thoughts. Thanks in advance everyone...
