Sea-Dog Open Base Cleat, 10 Inch, Investment Cast 316 Stainless Steel, Part 041610-1

The Sea-Dog Open Base Cleat (part number 041610-1) is a 10 inch line tie-off cleat built for boaters who want dependable corrosion resistance in a classic, unadorned horn shape. It is investment cast from 316 stainless steel, the marine-grade alloy chosen for its resistance to salt water corrosion, so it holds up to repeated exposure at the dock or underway without pitting or staining like lower grades of stainless. The open base design is a traditional cleat profile, offering a straightforward, low-profile mounting footprint that works well anywhere a reliable tie-off point is needed on deck, at the bow, or along a dock.

This cleat installs with four 5/16 inch flat head thru-bolts (fasteners are not included, so plan to source your own hardware sized to your mounting surface thickness). At 10 inches long with a 1-7/8 inch width, 3-5/8 inch height, and 1-3/4 inch base dimension, it is sized for mid-size lines and general-purpose docking and mooring duty. Because it is cast rather than stamped, the cleat resists bending and flexing under load, giving it a longer service life than lighter-weight fittings.
