I can see where that could become a problem but we have been having some extremely windy days but I decided to go fishing anyway and I anchored down in some 4-6's and ripped off a bow cleat well I said were already here and I have another cleat well cleat # 2 and the bow light only lasted 20 min's. so I will have to remove the cap to fix that correctly and the transom needs work to so I really don't have much choice, I would hate to be the guy that knew it needed fixin but decided to go fishin and watch it fall apart.
