I had the marina switch out the stern cleats for the flushmount pop-up type.
Being a neophyte boater I didn't insist on or even know that these didn;t come woth a backing plate. If you see thephoto below two things are striking...
1) these cleats are held in place by 4 screws into the fiberglass...weak!
Can I put plates in?
AND
2) THAT BLACK STUFF IS MOLD RIGHT? it is also in the bilge how do I clean that stuff?
