Common questions about SS316 Low Flat Cleat

What am I giving up by going low and flat?

Rope clearance. A low cleat is kinder to bare feet and to lines running across the deck, but there is less room to get your fingers under and less horn depth to hold a heavy figure-eight. For a working mooring point, a taller cleat is easier to use.

Where does a flat cleat make most sense?

Side decks, cabin tops and anywhere people walk or sheets sweep across. It is the cleat you fit when a raised horn would be a toe-stubber or a snag point. Spring lines, fender lanyards and halyard tails are its natural work rather than the main mooring.

Why do cleats stain the deck around them?

Salt water sits in the joint between the base and the deck where no air gets to it, and stainless needs oxygen to stay passive. You get a brown weep at the edge. Bed the cleat on sealant so water cannot sit under it, and rinse after salt trips.
