Built for freshwater use on lake boats, pontoons, and docks, its open base lets you pass a line under and around fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inch length by 1-1\/4 inch height, a compact footprint for smaller boats, dinghies, and dock edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome plated zinc construction for a bright, clean finish on rails and gunwales\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen base design lifts the horns off the surface so lines pass under and around fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for freshwater use on lake boats, pontoons, and freshwater docks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrough-bolt mounting holes for a secure, permanent hold\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\u003eCan I use this cleat in salt water?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWe don't recommend it.
