Whitecap Industries 6746C Stainless Steel Folding Cleat, 6 Inch, Top-Mount

The Whitecap Industries 6746C is a 6 inch folding cleat built from 316 stainless steel for use on boats and docks. Unlike a fixed horn cleat, the 6746C's arms fold flat against its base when not in use, which makes it purpose-built for top-mount applications where the depth available under the deck is limited and a standard fixed cleat cannot be through-bolted or recessed. When raised, it functions as a normal cleat for securing dock lines and mooring rope.

The cleat measures 6 inches overall with a matching 6 inch cleat length, and the two mounting holes are spaced 3 inches apart on center. It accepts rope up to 3 inches in maximum diameter and installs using 1/4 inch fasteners, with two fasteners required per cleat. The packaged item measures 7 x 3 x 1 inches and weighs 1 pound. It is finished in a silver stainless steel tone that matches other stainless deck hardware.
