Sea-Dog 040106-1 Flat Head Open Base Cleat, 6 Inch, Galvanized Cast Iron

The Sea-Dog 040106-1 is a 6 inch flat head open base cleat built for securing docking and mooring lines on smaller recreational craft and recreational docks. It is constructed of cast iron with a hot dipped galvanized finish that resists corrosion in wet marine environments, giving it a durable silver finish that holds up to repeated line loading and weather exposure. The open base design allows lines to be wrapped and cleated off quickly, while the flat head profile sits low against the mounting surface for a clean, low-profile installation. This cleat installs with two flat head thru-bolts (not included), which pass through the mounting holes sized for 1/4 inch hardware. It is sold as a single cleat. Sea-Dog specifies this model for use on smaller recreational boats and recreational docks and does not recommend it for large boats or commercial applications, so buyers should size their line loads accordingly. Sea-Dog Line has manufactured marine hardware since 1933 and has received multiple industry awards for quality and efficiency. This part number, 040106-1, corresponds to the 6 inch size within Sea-Dog's flat head open base cleat lineup, which also includes 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch, and 14 inch versions for different boat and dock sizes.
