[QUOTE="ppine, post: 449775, member: 22555"] Cleats can be under a lot of stress during towing or a storm or some other conditions. When a nylon line streches and then a cleat lets go it can become a projectile. The best way to mount a cleat on an aluminum or steel boat is to weld it to the deck. The second best way is to bolt it to the deck with a backing plate and large fender washers. Use some decent sized bolts and lock nuts. Don't mess around with cleats. [/QUOTE]
