The Cats-paw, still a useful knot in the modern era.

where is the safety if one of the loops comes apart?

[@rafaelw5bai259]

too much background noise of the engine. Should have shutted it down. Can't hear some of the words.

That is NOT the way I was taught.
The shackle needs to be able to slide on the bridle for turns.
With the eye in the middle the load in a turn is all on one side, either the cleat or transom tie downs.

So would you just put the shackle on the line with out the cats paw?

Just use a ring
