Didn't even bother to paddle. The list keeps growing. Good thing I love working on boats!

I'm not a huge fan of halyards belayed to a horn cleat. In my hardware box, I did find one single Spinlock cam cleat. Now, the question is, why was it in the hardware box...did it fail at some point on the i550?  

I gave it some rigorous tests, but it wasn't loaded up sufficiently because it's not mounted.  Do I drill more holes in the boat? Or just let it slide and use the original hardware.

Plenty of time to think about this...plenty.
