Attwood 12048-4 Fold-Down Dock Cleat, 6-Inch, White Aluminum

The attwood 12048-4 is a 6-inch fold-down dock cleat built from aluminum and finished in white for corrosion resistance in marine environments. Designed for small boats and watercraft, the cleat folds flat against the dock surface when not in use, keeping the low-profile design clear of foot traffic and reducing the tripping hazard posed by taller, fixed cleats. When it is time to tie off, the cleat simply flips back up to secure mooring or docking lines.

Construction is marine-grade aluminum with a corrosion-resistant exterior finish, making the 12048-4 suitable for saltwater and freshwater dock installations alike. It installs on standard dock surfaces using two 3/8-inch carriage bolts (mounting hardware is not included). This is the 6-inch size in attwood's fold-down cleat line, sized for smaller boats and personal watercraft where a compact, unobtrusive cleat is preferred over a larger fixed cleat.
