{"product_id":"sea-dog-043050-nylon-open-base-cleat-5-inch-black","title":"Sea-Dog 043050 Nylon Open Base Cleat, 5 Inch Black","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Sea-Dog 043050 is a 5-inch open base cleat molded from black nylon. It's a light-duty cleat for tying off dock lines, flag halyards, and small-boat rigging where you don't need the weight or cost of metal. Flat head keeps it low on the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of cleat you reach for when you need a clean, no-fuss tie-off point and metal is overkill. The Sea-Dog 043050 measures 5 inches long and stands just 1-1\/16 inches tall, so it sits low on a gunwale, dock edge, or cabin top without snagging lines or toes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's injection molded from nylon, so it won't rust, corrode, or stain the deck around it the way cheap metal hardware can. That makes it a solid pick for freshwater docks, small aluminum boats, dinghies, and kayaks, plus jobs like flag halyards and light fender lines. The open base lets water and grit drain straight through instead of pooling under the cleat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack finish blends in on dark trim and deck hardware. Keep in mind this is a light-duty cleat. For heavy dock lines or anchor rodes on a bigger boat, you'll want a larger metal cleat rated for the load. For everything light, it's an easy, inexpensive fix. It ships in bulk packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 inch length, 1-1\/16 inch height: low-profile flat head that won't snag lines or toes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInjection molded nylon: won't rust or corrode, safe for freshwater and saltwater exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen base design: lets water and grit drain through instead of pooling under the cleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish: blends with dark deck hardware and trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLight-duty cleat for dock lines, flag halyards, dinghies, kayaks, and small boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size is the Sea-Dog 043050 cleat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 5 inches long and 1-1\/16 inches tall.
