[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 500461, member: 20945"] For safety I would definitely not recommend a cleat at that location. It's a bad thing to catch body parts, clothing, and when loading and unloading from a trailer a snag you do not want. Look at the slot in the bow cap, if you absolutely must run a line, that could do. Use the boat a few times before you do something you will regret. If you just have to fiddle with a line on the bow, do it from a thimble in a bowline. Keep your bowline shorter than the length it takes to get sucked into the propellor. Stay safe so you can enjoy boating [/QUOTE]
