Description
FEATURES

- The cleating angle can be set in one of two positions - use the included riser kit for a higher cleating angle.
- A switchable ratchet in the base allows the cleat arm to remain in its most recently used position. The ratchet can be turned off for free swivelling.
- Includes small C-Cleat™ cam cleat and fairlead, suitable for line sizes 2-8mm (3/31 - 5/15") dia.
