Sea-Dog 046108-1 Flat Head Open Base Cleat, 8 Inch, Die Cast Aluminum

The Sea-Dog 046108-1 is an 8 inch Flat Head Open Base Cleat built for securing dock lines on aluminum docks, vessels, and other aluminum surfaces. It is constructed of die cast aluminum for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in a marine environment. The open base design features a large footprint that spreads mooring and docking loads evenly across the mounting surface, reducing stress on the fasteners and the surface itself rather than concentrating it at a single point.

This cleat mounts with two flat head (FH) fasteners, which are not included, allowing the fastener heads to sit flush for a clean, low-profile installation. The base measures 1-1/2 inches wide, and the cleat has an 8 inch overall length, making it suited for smaller to mid-size cleat applications where a compact, flush-mount hardware piece is needed. Each unit is sold individually.
