Sea-Dog Open Base Cleat, Flat Head, 5 Inch Die Cast Aluminum, 046105-1

The Sea-Dog Open Base Cleat, part number 046105-1, is a 5 inch flat head dock and deck cleat built from die cast aluminum. It features a large base designed to distribute mooring and docking loads evenly, reducing stress on the mounting surface. The cleat is designed for use on aluminum docks, vessels, or other aluminum surfaces, making it a practical choice for boaters and dock builders who want a mounting-surface-matched hardware set. Installation is straightforward: the cleat mounts with two flat head (FH) fasteners sized for a 1/4 inch flat head fastener; fasteners are not included and must be sourced separately. Its die cast aluminum construction provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant cleat body suited to marine environments. At 5 inches overall, the 046105-1 sits in the middle of the Sea-Dog open base flat head cleat lineup, offering a size between the smaller 4 inch (046104-1) and larger 6 inch (046106-1) versions for boaters who need to match cleat size to line diameter and mounting space. Each unit weighs 0.152 pounds. This cleat is sold and packed for retail in standard packs of 10 each at the manufacturer level, with each individual cleat available as its own purchasable unit.
