Harken Micro Carbo-Cam Cleat Kit w/Wire Fairlead

The Harken Micro Carbo-Cam Cleat Kit with Wire Fairlead is purpose-built for sailors and marine enthusiasts who demand reliable line management in confined spaces. Designed by Harken, a trusted leader in marine hardware, this cleat kit combines a lightweight fiber-reinforced carbo-cam mechanism with an integrated wire fairlead system. Whether rigging a dinghy, small keelboat, or any application where weight and profile matter, this compact solution delivers dependable holding power without the bulk of traditional cam cleats.

The kit pairs the 471 Carbo-Cam with the 475 wire fairlead to create a low-profile rigging system that keeps your line seated close to the cleat. The wire fairlead design minimizes vertical footprint while maintaining precise line geometry, reducing friction and ensuring smooth, repeatable cleating action. The fiber-reinforced composite construction keeps weight to just 0.1 lbs, making it ideal for weight-sensitive applications where every ounce counts. The carbo-cam mechanism provides secure holding with minimal effort, while the fairlead's wire construction allows superior visibility and deck drainage compared to solid fairleads.

This cleat kit is ideal for cruising sailors, racing crews, and small-boat owners seeking a proven upgrade to stock hardware. Installation is straightforward on most boom and gunnels where space is tight, and the compact 3 x 1 x 5-inch footprint fits seamlessly into restrictive deck layouts. The wire fairlead remains effective in both light and heavy air, and its durable composite and stainless-steel components resist corrosion in saltwater environments. For anyone looking to optimize halyard, sheet, or outhaul control without sacrificing deck real estate, the Harken Micro Carbo-Cam Cleat Kit delivers professional-grade performance at a practical price point.
