I have ripped the cleat bevel block off a number of times, so idealy it
should be backed all the way under the deck. That might be a bit hard to
do though. I ended up glassing the bevel block to the deck. E.g. use
fillet/tape on all sides. I do think that this bevel block could be replaced my a simple eye with two RF20100 blocks. I think this would work since there is always some tension on the cunningham. But I suppose it could look a little odd with just one bevel block on the deck. Christian Roger Wright wrote: For those of you fitting the cleat bevel blocks (the ones that go on either side of the CB hole) You need to re-inforce the holes and use RF20151 A's, not RF20151's. The RF 20151's can only take a #6 wood screw directly into the wood of the bevel blocks. We are placing a large force on the cunningham block and this could pull out of the wood if it uses a #6 screw. The ideal solution would be to put an 8-32 T-nut under the cleat bevel blocks to help with the load.
