Sea-Dog CL209 Clamcleat Midi Rope Cleat for 3/16 to 5/16 Inch Rope, Black Aluminum

The Sea-Dog CL209 Clamcleat Midi is a cam-style rope cleat designed to grip and hold line under load without the need to wrap or tie off, letting you release rope instantly with a simple upward pull. Sized for rope diameters from 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch, it is well suited to halyards, sheets, fender lines, and other running rigging on small to mid-size boats where quick, one-handed cleating is useful. The cleat body is cast from aluminum and finished in black, giving it a low-profile look that blends in with dark hardware and trim.

Unlike a traditional horn cleat, the clamcleat design uses angled teeth to bite the rope automatically as tension is applied, then releases cleanly when the line is pulled up and out of the jaw. This makes it a practical upgrade anywhere fast, repeated cleating and uncleating is needed. The unit measures 2-7/8 inches in length with a 2-1/8 inch inside length and a 3/4 inch width, and it mounts with 3/16 inch screws (not included) through the base.
