Initially created for the demanding “Super-Yacht Industry”, the suction cleat has found uses in every segment of the marine environment. The main body is mold- injected with UV inhibitor nylon. A reinforced bridge unifies the two suction cups and includes a six and one half inch (6-1/2”) marine cleat as an integral part of the unit. Non-marking white thermoplastic elastomer cups prevent unsightly black rings. The lock down latch is nylon and attached to the cups with stainless steel retainer pins and nickel-plated cup shafts.
