I've removed a pair of 'OK' foredeck cleats - close to toerails about 3 m. from bow - and will mount a pair of 'much heftier' 300mm replacements onto teak pads on deck, using 4 x 10mm s/s bolts. These to take anchoring/mooring snubbing loads imparted by a ~3-ton boat kept on a trot mooring.
I'll mount substantial backing pads under the 12mm grp deck, and I have the choice of 48mm teak, 2" oak or 2 x 25mm epoxy-coated ply.
What does the team think is optimum - and why?
