Sea-Dog Open Base Nylon Cleat, 6-1/2 Inch, Black, Part 043065-1

The Sea-Dog 043065-1 is a 6-1/2 inch open base nylon cleat built for securing dock and mooring lines on boats and docks. It is molded from durable, corrosion and UV resistant injection molded nylon, making it a long-lasting alternative to metal cleats in the marine environment. The base of the cleat has a molded-in recess that traps sealant in place during installation, creating a more watertight seal at the mounting surface and helping prevent water intrusion into the deck or dock core below.

This cleat installs with two flat head fasteners sized for a #12 screw (fasteners are not included), and is finished in black to blend with dark deck hardware and trim. Its open base design leaves the underside of the horns clear, which some installers use with an optional rub plate for added line protection at the base. The 043065-1 is part of the Sea-Dog Open Base Cleat line, which is also offered in additional sizes and in white for the 5 inch size.
