    I need 2 rear cleats for my '61 Hydrodyne. Both of the originals broke at the base (pot metal junk). Any ideas where to find them?

    I looked at a boat shop and online, then decided I was going to leave it off and use the ski tow in the back. Often when idling out, the ski rope would catch on the cleat and the observer had to pay attention all the time. I just plugged the hole.

    I am looking for the same cleat. Its a Nautalloy P/N CR554. The company no longer exists so probably only original cleats are on old boats out there. I keep checking ebay. Meantime, I have found a machine shop that is willing to make me a replica out of stainless steel. Will let you know how it goes. If it comes out good, I'll post a picture and let you know what they cost.
