Another option to fill a few holes without having to resin, sand, paint or gelcoat, etc. is to just use a truss head screw and nut with the butyl tape under the screw head to seal them up. The details are on that web site I sent a while back about the butyl tape as deck hardware bedding. But basically, you just get a truss head screw to fit the hole size, a locknut and washer for the inside, bed the screw head with butyl per the info for any other deck hardware, trim or cap the inside end of the screw. Truss head screws are flatter and wider than pan head - you may have to go to, or order from, a fastener supplier (e.g. Fastenal) to get them, most hardware stores only have pan head. This won't work though if the replacement cleat base needs to sit where the old holes are. In that case you have to fill those flush.

Ok got it. Is it oriented bow to stern, or side to side? I still have the original cleats aft, they seem to be aluminum and are silver. I'm wondering about plugging the holes from the current setup. Is that a 3m job or will I be fiberglassing painting etc...? On Feb 28, 2016 6:47 PM, "Stanley Wheatley" <swwheatley@comcast.net> wrote:
The original bow cleat was a 4-5" black anodized aluminum horn cleat, same
as what might still be on your boat's stern quarters. I replaced mine with the 6" version of the following (I'm partial to Suncor because they are local to me):

Note that they also sell ready made backing plates. You might be able to justify an 8" bow cleat on an M17. Anything larger than that would be way too big.

Jazz, Best for the boat and your shins would be to remove it and replace
with correct cleat (fasteners are undersized at current install) potential for SERIOUS deck damage if heavily loaded. Have Fun Go sailing. GO
