Professional Marine-Grade Line Tensioning Control
Engineered for elite maritime performance, this Boat Rope Clam Cleat is forged from 316 Stainless Steel, providing unparalleled resistance to saltwater corrosion and oxidative pitting. The mirror-polished finish not only enhances aesthetic appeal but increases UV reflectivity for long-term deck exposure.
Precision Mechanical Design
- Zero-Slip Teeth: The internal cast-in groove features precision-angled teeth that provide immediate, non-slip holding power for adjusting sail shape or tensioning lines.
- Rope-Friendly Geometry: Every edge is radiused and hand-polished to eliminate friction points, preventing fraying even under high-load oscillation.
- Compact Low-Profile: Measuring 47mm (1.9in) in length, this cleat minimizes snag hazards on busy decks while maintaining high structural integrity.
Ideal for sailboats, kayaks, and yachts, this hardware is designed for 6mm (0.2in) lines and features dual countersunk mounting points for a secure, flush installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this cleat rust in saltwater environments over time?
- No. This cleat is manufactured from AISI 316 Stainless Steel, which contains molybdenum. Our visual forensics confirm a high-mirror polish that seals the surface against oxygen, preventing the pitting and oxidation common in lower-grade 304 or 200-series metals.
- Does the toothed locking mechanism damage the rope under heavy loads?
- Our 'Rope-Friendly Geometry' features radiused teeth and hand-polished internal channels. Unlike stamped aluminum cleats with sharp edges, this cast 316 SS cleat distributes tension evenly, preventing the fiber shearing that causes rope fraying.
- How difficult is the installation for a standard kayak or boat deck?
- Installation is straightforward using two countersunk marine-grade screws. The dual mounting points are designed to handle high shear forces, ensuring the cleat remains flush and secure on fiberglass, wood, or aluminum surfaces without loosening under vibration.
