[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 485737, member: 22613"] The only way glue would stand a chance of holding is if you first fastened a fairly large plate to the cleat, and then glued the plate to the boat so the adhesive has quite a large surface area to adhere to. Cleats are one thing that doesn't bother me to go full stop and drill some holes for, since they're permanent and unlikely to ever be removed. People can say what they want but with the way aluminum flexes, I don't think any adhesive is a permanent solution. There's a reason why factories weld and rivet boats together. [/QUOTE]
