I am having trouble sorting out the various models of Spinlock Powercleats for my H260. Is the Model #PX0812/2 appropriate for the H260? Also, where on the H260 is the best place to locate these cleats? Are there any photos on this site showing Spinlock Powercleats mounted on a H260?

A spinlock on a 26
I replaced the horns with the Spinlocks. Works perfectly. And I've seen it mounted in an angle with a teak "foot". toomas

Spinlock Installation
Using the info from the archives, I ordered two each Spinlock PX Powercleat, Single, 5/16 to 7/16 in. PNPX08121. Best price I could find was on Sailnet.com. They came with the 11 degree wedges. I removed the horns and tapped out the 1/4 by 20 threads all the way through. You'll need at least 2 1/2" stainless flathead bolts if you use the wedges. You'll have to carefully countersink the rear holes in the spinlock a little bit. There is a plate imbedded in the fiberglass and you can access the underside from the winch access holes in the cabin. Used a light amount of silicon in the holes and around the base. Added washers and lock nuts underneath but that may be overkill. Also swapped out the Shaefer mainsheet cleat with Spinlock PX Powercleat, Single, w/Block adapter, 5/16 to 1/2 in. SPNPXB0812. That works even better. About a five minute job to replace the Shaefer cleat. My thanks to all the guys that did the groundwork on this project. Made my effort a breeze.
