Does anyone know if a full set of cleats on a sealine boat could be replaced with stainless shinny ones like on my fairline, at present it has I think aluminium ones that are dull, could they be remade in stainless with the same type of pattern as my fairline by anyone

cheers shawn
 
Anything is possible if you through enough money at it.

Take Ali clear off - 3d scan it then pass to stainless steel manufacturing man and hey presto.

Nice

Shiney

Cleats

No idea on cost though. So have you finally sold your P40 and bought a Sealine....?
 
Get cleats designed for a bigger boat. Stainless steel 4 Bolts cleats should do the job.

Just reinforce the fibreglass
 
Easy peasy. Either get lucky and find something you like in a catalogue, or have them made. No limits. Access to underside of mid ship cleats can be difficult
 
The cleats featured in http://www.seabridge-marine.com/inde...ckSearch=cleat are the same pattern as the Sealine cleats are fine for tying down to a pontoon or boat where the thing you are tying to is the same height or lower than your boat but are a problem in places like locks and the Channel Islands where you can moor along side a lock wall or quay that is much higher than your boat as the mooring line can slip off the cleat.

I prefer cleats of this pattern http://stainlessdirect.co.uk/index....d=1034&zenid=ac7e10acf82722cf2578717a9107c0b8 where the line can come under the cross bar in the middle first before you tye it off in figure of eights.

just a thought - the sealine aluminium alloy tends to "bond" with the bolts. Getting the bolts out can be seriously (impossible) difficult even with good access. I removed an aluminium alloy cup holder from a sealine 410, same material as the cleats - in the end I cut the fibre glass around the bolt heads.
