The tie-down includes a plate with a recess formed therein, and at least two arms traversing the recess. The attachment lug includes a base with a stud receiving aperture formed therein, and a cylindrical sidewall extending outwardly from the base. The cylindrical sidewall of the attachment lug has at least two notches extending partially therearound adapted to receive the at least two arms of the tie-down. The stud is insertable through the aperture in the hardware so that the fastener can be received on the stud to effectively clamp the hardware to the deck.
