Sea-Dog 4 Inch Open Base Chrome Zinc Cleat
Sea-Dog 4 Inch Open Base Chrome Zinc Cleat — Product description
The Sea-Dog open base cleat is a compact 4-inch chrome-plated zinc tie-off point for dock lines and fenders. Built for freshwater use on lake boats, pontoons, and docks, its open base lets you pass a line under and around fast.
The Sea-Dog open base cleat gives you a clean, no-fuss tie-off point for dock lines, fenders, and light rigging. It measures 4 inches long and 1-1/4 inches tall, a handy size for smaller boats, dinghies, dock edges, and anywhere you need to secure a line without a lot of bulk.
It's cast from zinc and chrome plated, so it's got a bright finish that looks sharp on a rail or gunwale. Sea-Dog builds this one for freshwater use. On a lake boat, a pontoon, or a freshwater dock, it'll hold up fine and keep that shine. If you run in salt water, step up to a stainless or bronze cleat instead, because chrome-plated zinc isn't the right pick for saltwater exposure.
The open base design means the horns are cast up off the mounting surface, so you can pass a line under and around quickly. Two mounting holes let you through-bolt it down for a solid hold. It ships as a single cleat, so grab the count you need for your layout.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this cleat in salt water?
We don't recommend it. This one's chrome-plated zinc, which Sea-Dog rates for freshwater applications. In salt water you'll want a stainless or bronze cleat that stands up to corrosion. For lakes, rivers, and freshwater docks, this cleat is a solid pick.
What size is this cleat?
It measures 4 inches long and 1-1/4 inches tall. That's a compact size that works well on smaller boats, dinghies, pontoons, and dock edges where a full-size cleat would be overkill.
How does the open base design work?
The horns sit up off the mounting surface on cast legs, so there's room to pass a line underneath and wrap it around quickly. That makes tying off and casting off faster than a flush-mount cleat.
How do I mount it?
Through-bolt it down using the mounting holes for the most secure hold. Back it with washers or a backing plate on thinner surfaces so it won't pull loose under load.
Does it come as a pair?
No, it ships as a single cleat. Order the quantity you need for your boat or dock layout.
