Schaefer Fast Entry Cam Cleat - Small

The Schaefer Fast Entry Cam Cleat – Small is a precision-engineered line management tool designed for sailors, anglers, and boaters who demand reliability under demanding conditions. After years on the water, you know that securing lines quickly and safely is non-negotiable—whether you're setting up rigging on a sailboat, managing fishing lines, or securing gear during unpredictable weather. This compact cam cleat delivers the speed and security you need without the fumbling or risk of line slip.

Built from die-cast aluminum cams and featuring Delrin™ ball bearings, this small-format cleat is engineered to handle a 200-pound safe working load while accommodating line sizes from 1/8" to 5/16" diameter. The computer-designed high-flare entry geometry allows ropes to slide into the cleat smoothly at various angles—a critical feature when you're working on a moving deck or need one-handed operation. The smooth bearing action prevents line abrasion and reduces the resistance that slower cam designs introduce, making it ideal for frequent adjustments or quick releases during active fishing or sailing operations.

This small cam cleat is perfect for auxiliary rigging, control line applications, or anywhere space is limited and weight matters—think jib sheets on compact cruisers, downrigger lines on fishing boats, or halyards on smaller dinghies. At just 0.05 pounds and measuring 4 x 1 x 4 inches, it installs easily with two #8 flat-head fasteners and won't clutter your deck or cabin layout. Whether you're a seasoned angler, cruising sailor, or weekend boater, the Schaefer Fast Entry Cam Cleat delivers the performance and durability that marine environments demand.
