Sea-Dog Closed Base Cleat, 4 Inch Flat Head Die Cast Aluminum Dock Cleat
Sea-Dog Closed Base Cleat, 4 Inch Flat Head Die Cast Aluminum Dock Cleat
The Sea-Dog Closed Base Cleat (046104-1) is a 4 inch flat head dock cleat built from die cast aluminum for durable, corrosion-resistant service on boats and docks. Its closed base design features a large footprint that spreads load evenly across the mounting surface, making it well suited for securing dock lines, fenders, and mooring lines under repeated strain. Sea-Dog designed this cleat specifically for use on aluminum docks, vessels, and other aluminum surfaces, giving it a matched material profile that reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion common when dissimilar metals are paired together in a marine environment.
The cleat measures 4 inches in overall length (A), with a base width of 1 inch (B), a base height of 13/16 inch (C), and an overall height of 1-5/8 inches (D). It installs with two #10 flat head fasteners, which are not included, allowing the fastener heads to sit flush with the cleat surface for a clean, low-profile finish. At 0.108 pounds, it is a lightweight, compact hardware piece intended for smaller lines and general-purpose docking and tie-down use rather than heavy commercial mooring loads.

What does 'closed base' mean on this cleat? A closed base cleat has a solid, enclosed base rather than an open cutout, which gives it a large footprint that distributes line loads evenly across the mounting surface.
Why does this cleat use flat head fasteners? The flat head design of the 046104-1 lets fastener heads sit flush with the cleat surface for a clean, low-profile finish rather than protruding above it.
Is the 046104-1 cleat corrosion resistant? Yes, it is die cast aluminum, which resists corrosion and is specifically suited to pairing with aluminum dock and vessel surfaces to avoid galvanic corrosion issues.
What is the difference between the 4 inch and 5 inch versions of this cleat? The 4 inch Sea-Dog closed base cleat (046104-1) has smaller overall dimensions and uses a #10 fastener, while the larger 5 inch and 6 inch versions in the same closed base flat head line use 1/4 inch fasteners and have larger base dimensions.
Can this cleat be used for mooring larger boats? The 046104-1 is a compact 4 inch cleat best suited to lighter-duty dock line, fender, and tie-down use rather than heavy mooring loads.
