TACO Marine Portable Cleat, Stainless Steel, 15 Degree Multi-Purpose Design - F16-0861POL-1

The TACO Marine F16-0861POL-1 is a stainless steel portable cleat built on TACO's multi-purpose 15 degree S-shape design. It gives boaters a versatile, movable cleat point for securing dock lines or hanging fenders without permanently mounting hardware to the hull or deck. The S-shape body accommodates dock lines up to 3/4 inch, making it suitable for larger boats that need a heavier-duty line capacity than a standard fixed cleat. A 1-1/2 inch pipe diameter lets the cleat drop directly into standard rod holders that measure 1-5/8 inches in diameter, so it can be inserted and removed as needed rather than drilled and bolted in place.

Beyond securing dock lines, the cleat includes a loop hole in its design so fenders can be hung over the side of the boat, giving it dual use as both a line cleat and a fender hanger. It is constructed of stainless steel, which stands up to repeated saltwater exposure better than painted or coated hardware. The cleat ships packaged in a mesh bag, which makes it easy to rinse and air dry after use and helps prevent it from scratching the deck or other gear in storage. This is a portable, universal-fit accessory rather than a model-specific replacement part, so it is not tied to a particular boat make or engine.
