Constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel, it resists corrosion from saltwater and marine exposure while holding its polished finish over time. The knob-end design keeps lines from slipping off the horns, reducing the risk of lines working loose and minimizing the potential for collision injuries when moving around deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional through-bolt cleats, the Smart Cleat uses hidden stud mount fasteners, so there are no exposed nuts or bolts on the mounting surface to collect water, dirt, or debris. Installation only requires two standard-size bit holes drilled for the studs, with no cutouts or hole saws needed, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement for an existing cleat base. The studs measure 1\/4 inch by 1-1\/2 inches with 1\/4-20 NC threads, and the cleat ships complete with stainless steel washers and nuts for a full, ready-to-install package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 6-1\/4 inches long, this cleat suits a wide range of cleating applications where a compact, classic-style tie-off point is needed. Its investment cast construction gives it a solid, one-piece feel that stands up to repeated line loading over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 041666-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Investment Cast 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stud Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (A):\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension B:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension D:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch x 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Thread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4-20 NC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514041768\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel washers and nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 041666-1 Smart Cleat made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of investment cast 316 stainless steel, which resists corrosion in saltwater and marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the Sea-Dog Smart Cleat 041666-1 mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cleat uses a stud mount design with hidden fasteners.
