Mooring Cleat Strength?

[thomasgclements]

So the consensus is that there is not much data out there as to cleat strength.  The most I came up with is 1990 Boat US test on a 6" stainless steel cleat of the same design as those used on Hylas yachts.  Extrapolating their results for a 10" cleat indicates that our cleats have a breaking strength of 11,000 pounds.  Pretty good.

I had one private response indicting that the real issue is the quality of the bedding under our deck hardware, and whether water intrusion and crevice corrosion of the stainless steel fasteners has compromised the strength of our cleats.

I am still getting to know my H-46, #48.  Do any of my fellow owners have any data on the breaking strength or WLL of our standard 10" mooring cleats?
