Install a Cleat Like You Mean It, Jim's Little Boat, Catalina 22

Jim needs to tow some small boats so he checks out the quarter cleat and decides to beef up the backing plate.
Jim's Little Boat is dedicated to helping beginning sailors and providing a video reference for work on their own boats. There are more than 50 videos in the Jim's Little Boat archives of You Tube. While some of the videos are very specific to Catalina 22 sailboats, most are general and apply to all small mono-hull sailboats.

This is great! If you don't have starboard lying around, our local marine shop let us know that the average cutting board from a dept store is actually made up of almost identical hard plastic, and can be cut just the same for a fraction of the price. ☺️

I normally use aluminum plate, but I had some starboard laying around.
