I had zigzag cleats on my last boat and really liked them. I ended up putting them on my current boat for anchoring. These would of been my next suggestion if the bow eye didn't work for them. I would of through bolted them on the inside top right under the gunwale, as close to the bow as possible.

Depending on how easy it is to reach your arm to the bow eye, you could use a Danik hook.

Could you just use the bow eye for an anchor point?

If it wasn't below the water line I would call it good. But knowing it is, my first suggestion would be to get a larger thru-hull fitting that fits that hole better.

Is this on the bottom of the boat? Below the water line?

You are all putting too much thought into it. How about "The Boat"?

I agree as well. Cleats should be mechanically fastened. Never heard of any boat builder that would glue on a cleat.

I did this on my old jon boat that I sold. Used 3/4" carpeted plywood and a 2x6 riveted and screwed to gunnel and deck. Had all kinds of room for trolling motor, lights, lightbar, 12v/TM plug, Charger port, drink holder.

Shine a flashlight into the hole in the base plate to see if you can see threads.
