There a many ways to berth a boat without using those cleats.

For our home berthing, we use a pre-done line that can be looped over the stern cleats, by hand or pole, from the dock.

Hi Jim! I had the same idea to make it this way. this method will be practical as long as we are in our home base (as you said) but won't help us while cruising the med.
Thanks
Udi.

Do the reverse then.

Pre-Tie your Stern cleat and leave the bitter end accessible.
Then toss it ashore for final position.

Hang your line like this or other easy spot.

Right Jim ! I believe that will be the ultimate solution in order not to make any critical changes that may hurt the boat construction.
Just for my curiosity I'll try to get HM angeniring opinion.
Thanks for your advises.

As you can see there is no room for the cleats at the usual place because of the pulpit and the rest os seating area.At the present position of the cleats the approach for tying is much harder than other boats I know.
I thought of moving it to the area marked at the photo but I am not sure that area is strong enough.
MAYBE USE A "JUMPER". Take a stong enough piece of rope, maybe 3 or 4 feet (or as needed) Tie one end to the OEM cleat, the other end to a second cleat that would allow the second cleat to float to move around for the best position to the load- and three feet farther out..

Hi !
As a new hunter owner, I have two questions.

1)Any idea how can I get an extra key to the cabin entrance door (Hunter 45 ds). I didn't find anyone that can duplicate it.
When My B323 was Brand New, I had six keys made a the local locksmith STORE. IN the U.S.
Can you Zerox the kex next to a ruler and post it. There really should
be a mfg name and number.

The thing is that I am not in the US so I don't think it can work.
