Thanks I can see your point. Hey maybe some big C-Clamps may work in a
pinch just a thought.
I have a 26ft aft cabin and it didn't come w/ cleats either midship, But I
installed them after my first weekend out, I was rocking back and forth in
the slip all weekend long. I had no place to secure spring lines except the
bow / stern. It was a kind lesson to me if the weather goes bad.

Did you use any lines midship? I wouldn't think that 4 lines would have
been enough.

There really isn't anything solid midship on a pontoon to tie something
to. I
tied off to the lift rings on the pontoons with 5/8 nylon. I had my anchor
out
off the bow hook but that wasn't going to hold much if the lines failed.
