TACO Multi-Purpose 15° Portable Cleat

The TACO Multi-Purpose 15° Portable Cleat from TACO Marine is a compact, angle-optimized deck cleat designed for boaters who need reliable line-securing capability without permanent installation. Whether you're running a center console, fishing charter, or utility vessel, this portable cleat solves the problem of securing dock lines, fenders, or running rigging on boats where welding permanent cleats isn't practical or desirable.

Its 15° angle geometry positions the cleat for optimal fairlead alignment on most modern hull designs, reducing line chafe and enabling smoother, more predictable rope lead. Built from TACO Marine's marine-grade materials, this cleat weighs just 1.6 lbs and measures 11 x 2 x 16 inches, making it genuinely portable for temporary deployment on deck, rail, or cockpit. The design naturally guides line loads downward and along the deck rather than creating stress concentrations at 90°, extending cleat and rope life significantly.

Installation flexibility means you can mount it with appropriate hardware to fiberglass, composite, or aluminum surfaces, then remove it when not needed without leaving permanent damage or unsightly footprints. This cleat is ideal for charter operators, seasonal boaters, and anglers managing multi-purpose vessels where deck real estate and functionality must adapt week to week. Fishing captains appreciate the ability to position it precisely wherever fender or line management is needed.
