304 or 316 stainless?
316 for marine — has molybdenum which resists salt-water pitting. 304 will rust at the welds within 12 months.
What size cleat for a 4.5m tinnie?
4–6 inch for tinnies, 8 inch for runabouts. The cleat horn should be at least 1.5x the rope diameter.
How do you attach a cleat to aluminium?
Use stainless bolts with neoprene backing washers. Sikaflex 291 around the bolt heads.
