Sea-Dog 4-1/2 Inch Hollow Base Cleat, Chrome Zinc
Sea-Dog 4-1/2 Inch Hollow Base Cleat, Chrome Zinc — Product description
The Sea-Dog hollow base cleat is a 4-1/2 inch tie-off point cast in chrome plated zinc. It surface-mounts through four holes and handles fender lines, spring lines, and light docklines on smaller boats, pontoons, and fixed docks.
A cleat's a cleat until you need one that isn't corroding on the dock. This Sea-Dog hollow base cleat gives you a clean 4-1/2 inch tie-off point in chrome plated zinc, sized right for fender lines, spring lines, and light docklines on smaller boats.
The hollow base sits flush on a deck, rail cap, or dock plank, and the open casting keeps the weight down. You get four mounting holes, so it bolts down solid once you back it with a plate or large fender washers underneath. We'd run it on a runabout, a pontoon rail, or a fixed dock where you want a bright chrome finish that looks sharp next to stainless rails.
It's an economy-grade cleat, so it's happiest in freshwater and light-duty saltwater use rather than as the primary anchor cleat on a big offshore boat. Standing 1-1/16 inch tall, it clears a wrapped line without snagging. Simple, honest deck hardware that does one job well.

Frequently asked questions
What size lines does this cleat handle?
It's a 4-1/2 inch cleat, so it's sized for smaller diameter lines. Think fender lines, spring lines, and light docklines on runabouts, pontoons, and dock edges. For heavy anchor rode on a larger boat, step up to a bigger cleat.
How is it mounted?
Through the four mounting holes in the hollow base. Bolt it down and back it with a plate or large fender washers under the deck so the load spreads out and it won't pull through.
Is chrome plated zinc okay for saltwater?
It'll hold up fine in freshwater and light saltwater duty. The chrome finish looks sharp, but for constant offshore saltwater exposure on a primary cleat, stainless or bronze is the tougher long-term call.
Does this come as a single cleat or a pair?
Single. The listing is for one cleat, so order two if you're rigging both sides of the boat or dock.
