A sleek and shining railing shouldn't have its look hampered by a plastic fender cleat. The new stainless steel fender cleat from Boatmates by Tempress Products allows discerning boat owners to keep the smooth lines of their rails intact, and still gets the job done.

Spring loaded for convenience, the Boatmates stainless cleat is a quick solution for positioning fenders. Boaters simply lift the T-handle and turn it to tie on or remove the fender line before replacing it flush. Made of 316 polished stainless steel, the cleat will provide years of durable use. And because it's polished to blend in with the rail, it won't interrupt the sleek lines of the railing.

The new stainless steel fender cleat measures 4" x 1" x 1-1/4", so it's large enough to hold the fender line securely. Installation is easy, too. Simply drilling two holes with standard drill bits for the mounting screws securely fastens the cleat directly to the surface of the railing.

Stainless steel fender cleats are available in packages of two. Each clamshell retails for $29.99.
