Sea-Dog 040104 4-Inch Galvanized Open Base Cleat
Sea-Dog 040104 4-Inch Galvanized Open Base Cleat — Product description
Sea-Dog's 4-inch galvanized iron cleat is a simple, sturdy tie-off for dock lines and small-boat rigging. The open-base design lets you run a line straight underneath, and the galvanized finish shrugs off salt spray. No-fuss deck hardware that just does its job, season after season.
Every boat needs a few good cleats. This Sea-Dog flat head cleat gives you a dependable 4-inch tie-off point for dock lines, fenders, or a dinghy painter. It's made from galvanized iron, so it stands up to salt spray, rain, and the general abuse that deck hardware takes season after season.
The open base is the key detail here. You can run a line straight under the horns without threading it, which makes quick tie-offs faster at a busy dock. At 4 inches long and 1-1/8 inches tall, it's sized for lighter lines and smaller craft, think kayaks, jon boats, tenders, or a secondary cleat on a bigger rig. The mounting holes let you through-bolt it to a dock post, a gunwale, or a piling.
It ships in a bulk package, so if you're outfitting a whole dock or replacing a handful of tired cleats, you're covered. Simple, galvanized, and built to last. That's about all a good tie-off needs to be.

Frequently asked questions
What size lines does this cleat handle?
At 4 inches long, it's sized for lighter lines on small boats, dinghies, kayaks, and docks. For heavier dock lines on a larger boat, step up to a longer cleat.
Is this cleat suitable for saltwater?
Yes. It's made from galvanized iron, which holds up well to salt spray and corrosion. Rinse it with fresh water now and then and it'll last for years.
What does open base mean?
The base is open underneath the horns, so you can slip a line straight under the cleat instead of threading it through. It makes tying off quicker at a busy dock.
How does it mount?
It through-bolts to a flat surface such as a dock post, piling, or gunwale using its mounting holes. Pick fasteners sized to your mounting surface.
