Whitecap Fender Cleat - CP/Brass - 2"

The Whitecap Fender Cleat – CP/Brass – 2" is a marine-grade hardware component designed for serious boaters and anglers who demand reliability at the dock and beyond. Proper fender management is essential to prevent damage to hulls and pilings during tie-offs in rough conditions or crowded anchorages. This cleat serves as the anchor point for fender lines, ensuring effective boat protection.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant cast polished (CP) brass, the Whitecap 2" cleat resists salt spray and freshwater oxidation, which is critical for long-term durability in harsh marine environments. The 2-inch size offers balanced holding capacity for small to mid-sized recreational vessels, providing a secure bite for standard 3/8" to 1/2" diameter fender lines without requiring heavy-duty commercial-grade hardware. Whitecap's engineering ensures consistent thread engagement and smooth line release, eliminating the frustration of stuck or frayed rope during docking maneuvers.

This cleat performs equally well on center consoles, cabin cruisers, and fishing platforms where fender rigging meets rail or bulwark. Installation requires simple fastening through pre-drilled mounting holes, and most boaters can complete fitting in minutes using stainless steel bolts and backing plates. Whether you're anchoring in a busy marina or setting up quick storm protection during a day trip, the Whitecap 2" cleat delivers peace of mind.
