Has anyone tried replacing the cleats on the bow? I don''t want to mess with something that''s not broken, so I haven''t tried unscrewing them yet...but the cleats in the stern use backing nuts that are accessible (barely) from the lazarette to hold them in place. I don''t see how that could be the case with the bow cleats. They look permanently embedded with screws right into the fiberglass. There''s no access from the anchor well, so do they just screw right into the deck? I''m surprised they haven''t worked loose, like the stern cleats. I was considering replacing the bow cleats with larger ones, but don''t want to loosen something that is set in there just fine
