I would think you would want the cam cleat ahead of the winch. It is a straighter feed in and you can use the winch to off load it easily if necessary.

Here’s an example..

I moved the winch inboard as well so the handle can turn full round.

My boat is rigged with a single speed winch on the port side cabin top

a cam cleat to expeidite sail handeling.
So as not to reinvent the wheel has anyone done this?
Is it as simple as screwing the cam cleat to the deck or does it need to be
angle mounted since the sheet will feed rom the top of the winch down at
about 30deg.

Gee, if you have a self-tailer, why the jam-cleat?

Because I’m silly… Why have a cleat… (which was there before). Just
makes sense to me…
