{"product_id":"attwood-12049-4-8-inch-white-fold-down-dock-cleat-for-small-boats-and-docks","title":"Attwood 8-Inch Fold-Down Dock Cleat, White, Model 12049-4","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Attwood 12049-4 is an 8-inch fold-down dock cleat finished in white, built for tying off small boats and watercraft at the dock. Unlike a fixed, upright cleat, this design folds flat against the mounting surface when it is not in use and flips back up when it is time to tie off, keeping the cleat clear of foot traffic. Its low-profile shape reduces the trip hazard that comes with taller, stationary dock cleats, making it a practical choice for gunwales, swim platforms, docks, and other high-traffic areas where a permanently upright cleat would be in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cleat measures 7.05 x 6.78 x 2.7 inches overall with an 8-inch cleat length, and weighs 1.19 pounds. It installs with a panel-mount setup using two 3\/8-inch carriage bolts; mounting hardware is not included, so bolts should be purchased separately to match the thickness of the mounting surface. The cleat ships as a standalone unit in white, ready to bolt onto the dock or boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12049-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fold-Down Cleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.05 x 6.78 x 2.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 3\/8-inch carriage bolts (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 022697120496\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Attwood 12049-4 dock cleat made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 12049-4 is a plastic fold-down cleat finished in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Attwood 12049-4 cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has an 8-inch cleat length, with overall dimensions of 7.05 x 6.78 x 2.7 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 12049-4 cleat come with mounting bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It installs with two 3\/8-inch carriage bolts, which are not included and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 12049-4 weighs 1.19 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is a fold-down cleat different from a fixed dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e A fold-down cleat like the 12049-4 lies flat against the dock or gunwale when not in use and flips upright to tie off a line, while a fixed cleat stands upright permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Attwood 12049-4 cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cleat is finished in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 12049-4 cleat installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a panel-mount installation with two 3\/8-inch carriage bolts driven through the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the low-profile design useful for anything besides looks?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, folding the 12049-4 cleat flat when it is not tied off keeps it clear of foot traffic and reduces the trip hazard posed by taller, upright dock cleats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats is the Attwood 12049-4 cleat meant for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is sized for small boats and watercraft that need a compact, occasional-use tie-off point at the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 12049-4 cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes the Attwood 12049-4 fold-down cleat itself; mounting bolts are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989665329371,"sku":"ATT-12049-4","price":30.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/71VzyOT_8yL.jpg?v=1784486503","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/attwood-12049-4-8-inch-white-fold-down-dock-cleat-for-small-boats-and-docks","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
