I am at a stage where i need to drill the hole for the boom gallows support tube through the seatback top. Looking at the prototype and all the pictures I can find it seems everyone has placed the support in front of the cleat. Playing around with the parts it would seem you’d want the tube as aft as possible to keep the support structure away from the locker opening providing more space, but then it will not leave very much space for the mooring cleat making it feel crammed.
Is there a reason to have the cleat aft of the gallows support tube? I was thinking of having the tube aft of the cleat, but am I missing something, like the actual support if the boom being too far aft?
