Sea-Dog Nylon Fender Cleat 327234-1, White, for 1/4 to 1/2 Inch Line

The Sea-Dog Nylon Fender Cleat (327234-1) is a compact cam-style cleat used to lock off fender lines, flag halyards, and other small-diameter rope on board. It accepts line from 1/4 inch up to 1/2 inch in diameter, letting one cleat handle a range of fender and accessory line sizes without needing a separate cleat for each rope thickness. The cleat is molded in white nylon for a clean look that blends with white hull sides, rail systems, and cockpit trim, and it uses a J-hook style fastener for mounting. This design lets a boat owner drop a fender line into the cleat and cam it in place quickly, then release it just as fast when repositioning fenders or stowing gear, which is especially useful when docking or rafting up where fenders need frequent adjustment. Because it is a simple mechanical cleat with no moving springs or electronics, it holds up well to sun, saltwater spray, and repeated use. At 0.132 pounds it is lightweight enough to mount on rails, gunwales, or cockpit surfaces without adding noticeable weight, and it ships as a single cleat (unit count of 1) ready to install.
