Jeff, A last word, I promise.
"Powercleats" are for lines that don't require winches. Halyards always require winches. So.. .
As for the question below, Harken (and others) makes fiddle blocks with attached cam cleats; you can make up three and four part purchases that trim a mainshet without the need of a winch; pretty standard on c-27s; see e.g. p.868 of the '06 West catalog.

Hey Ray. That's another route I was thinking of going. Are you able to tend the sheet without using a winch?

Jeff,
Mine had the same arrangement. I put a cam cleat on the fiddle block so that now it's cleat ed right on the traveler car.
