Inflatable Cleat

[mobboss]

I want to put a couple rubber cleats on the boat, does anybody know how a guy could find some. I see several sites that list them but no pic's.

Download the pdfs - plenty there but as a UK company it will be expensive as the $ is so weak. At least you can see some of the types around though.

Remember they are only glued to the tube. most people try to use the A frame or bow eye as a hard point but I have seen plenty of ribs using them to moor up with.

I think Apex or Avon uses them on the front of the tubes (kind of a combo grab handle/cleat kind of deal.) OK, I checked; I was thinking Apex, but both have them.

Might try hitting local (or whatever you can find) dealers and see about getting some spares ordered. I was unable to come up with a source in a brief search.

Apparently, Henshaws and PolyMarine also make some, though I don't know about distributors on this side of the pond.

I seem to recall seeing them as accessory parts somewhere, though, so don't give up too easily.
