Sea-Dog 12 Inch Galvanized Open Base Cleat | 040112
Sea-Dog 12 Inch Galvanized Open Base Cleat | 040112 — Product description
Sea-Dog's 12 inch galvanized open base cleat is a heavy tie-off point for dock and mooring lines. Cast in galvanized iron so it stands up to salt and weather, it's sized for bigger boats and dock installs where you need a cleat that won't budge.
When you're cleating off a bigger boat or rigging up a dock, you want a horn you can trust with a loaded line in a blow. This Sea-Dog cleat measures a full 12 inches long and stands 2-7/8 inches tall, so there's plenty of horn to take a couple of turns and a locking hitch without crowding your hand.
It's cast from galvanized iron. That galvanized coating is what keeps it fighting rust out on the water, season after season, whether it's bolted down to a piling, a dock plank, or a deck. The open base design gives you clean access to run your fasteners and seat it flat.
This one ships in bulk packaging, so it's a straightforward buy if you're outfitting a dock with a matched set or just replacing a tired old cleat that's finally given up. It's a workhorse, not a showpiece. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this cleat for?
At a full 12 inches, this is a larger cleat. It's a good fit for bigger boats and for dock or pier installations where you're tying off heavier lines.
Is it good for saltwater?
Yes. It's cast galvanized iron, and that galvanized finish is what fights rust in salt and weather. Rinse it now and then and it'll hold up for years.
How do I mount it?
It's an open base cleat, so you run your fasteners down through the base into your deck, dock plank, or piling. Back it with a solid surface or a backing plate anywhere a line will load it up.
What line size does it handle?
A 12 inch cleat gives you plenty of horn for larger diameter dock and mooring lines. Take a couple of turns and finish with a locking hitch.
