Plastic bow and stern cleats

Post by Fussbudget »

These are on the Albin 30 I just bought. Has anyone seen anything like this? Shipper won't load boat with these bow and stern cleats. Any reason to think they're not as strong? Any ideas could be helpful.

looks like the previous owner jury rigged. That's not standard Albin quality cleats. Suggest you replace. TomA

Have never seen those, any identification information on them that would lead to manufacture. Might get some specs from them. Could be a moot point though if you can't get it shipped. Might have to bite the bullet an put some acceptable hardware on. Thanks, Mark.

You have a smart shipper. Those are a failure waiting to happen buy some good stainless ones and back them up.
