Whether you're trimming sails on a yacht, managing deck lines on a kayak, or rigging a Pilates reformer, this aluminum rope clamcleat gives you a firm, repeatable grip on your line without fumbling with knots or manual tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach set includes one clamcleat body and M5×40mm mounting screws. The body measures 86mm × 50mm (≈3.4\" × 2.0\") with a height of 38mm (≈1.5\") and a base thickness of 29mm (≈1.1\"), weighing approximately 85g (≈3 oz).
