[C320-list] mid-ship cleats

[Charles Mueller]

Scott - I'll send you some photos off-line.  The cleats are mounted about
16" forward of the gate stanchion.  These use 1/4" screws, and the backing
plates are fender washers.  The port cleat mounts behind the microwave oven
and the bolt access is not bad.  On the starboard side, the nuts are up
behind a panel in the head, and very difficult to reach.  The Perko cleat
that I used has a square base, which sits nicely on the toe rail.

? I mounted mid-ship cleats a few years ago.? They are mounted on the top of
the gunnel, and that is a strong area with solid glass.? You do have to use
a two hole cleat, and the largest that I could find was a Perko cleat, model
1252DP0CHR.? That's a chrome plated cleat about 6.5" long.? It was a little
tight to get to the backing washers and bolts, but doable.? I have had no
problems with anything snagging, and I really like a mid-ship cleat that is
clear of everything.
