Sea-Dog Flat Head Open Base Cleat 040110, 10 Inch, Galvanized Cast Iron

The Sea-Dog 040110 is a 10 inch flat head open base cleat built for securing dock lines and mooring lines on smaller recreational boats and recreational docks. It is constructed of corrosion resistant hot dipped galvanized cast iron, giving it the strength of cast iron with a protective galvanized finish that resists rust and corrosion in wet marine environments. The open base design allows lines to be wrapped and cleated off quickly, while the low-profile flat head shape keeps the cleat from becoming a snag point on deck or dock surfaces.

This cleat installs with two flat head thru-bolts (not included), which pass through the base and seat flush for a clean, secure mount. At 10 inches overall length, the 040110 sits in the middle of Sea-Dog's flat head open base cleat lineup, sized for boats and dock applications that need more holding capacity than the smaller 5, 6, and 8 inch versions but do not require the largest 12 or 14 inch sizes. Sea-Dog notes this cleat is intended for smaller recreational craft and recreational docks and is not recommended for large boats or commercial applications.
