I believe the cleat is a 3/16" hole. If so, I would use a 3/16" shackle with the allen flat head, instead of the screw pin with the finger tab. Simula...

Sweet deal.... I've been playing with the top down furlers on the Pulse 600. Makes it great singlehanding in 20+ knots of wind. Maybe I need one on Fr...
