I am replacing a Harken 240_150 cam-matic swivel cleat with the right hardware................the Harken 019 little hexaratchet.
My dilema is I have the three mounting holes of the previous H240 which are 1-1/16" apart. I guess I could use the two holes parallel to the beam of the boat. I found a Harken mini eyestrap with 1-1/16" mounting centers. I could use bolts and lock nuts with an aluminum plate below the deck for strength. I also could use the original swivel arm of the H240 by either mounting the 019 to the fairlead postion (1-1/16" spacing) or at the cam position (1-1/2" spacing). The trouble is the smaller eyestrap is only rated at 1,000 pounds. The 1-1/2" spacing gets me to stronger eyestraps. Would the smaller eyestrap and under plate be ok. Should I take advantage of the three mounting holes of the H240 and keep the the hardware on and just mount the H019 to the fairlead position and leave the cams on or off? Would the
H019 be too "floppy" out at the "cam" position"? I have attached a catalogue image of the H240 for clarification. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am trying not to drill any additional holes, but strength (pull-out) is a concern.
