Your boat looks first class, right down to the sleek and shiny railing. So why spoil the look
with plastic fender cleats? The new stainless-steel fender cleats from Boatmates, made by Tempress
Products, blend in with the smooth lines of your rails, while still getting the job done. The
stainless-steel cleat is spring-loaded and is a quick solution for positioning fenders. Simply lift
the T-handle and turn it to tie on, or remove the fender line before replacing it flush. These new
cleats measure 4 inches by 1 inch by 1 and 1/4 of an inch, so they're large enough to hold the
fender line securely. Boatmates' cleats are available in packages of two, and each clamshell
retails for $29.99. (877) 234-7466,
