Barton Marine Kevlar Cam Cleat Midi [70200]

The Barton Marine Kevlar Cam Cleat Midi is a game - changer in marine hardware. Crafted from a Kevlar/Zytal composite, it outperforms carbon fiber and regular glass - reinforced resins. These 'K' cams are incredibly strong yet lightweight, and they resist wear extremely well. The unique progressive tooth design gives maximum holding power on all line types while minimizing wear on both the cam and the line. Specifications: Max Line Ø: 6 mm - 12 mm (0.4 - 0.55 inches); Fastenings Ø: 5 mm (0.20 in.); Fastenings Center: 40 mm (1.57 in.); Holding Power: 230 kg (507.1 lbs); Weight: 34 kg (74.96 lbs).

Using this Kevlar cam cleat is easy. First, make sure the line you're using is within the size range of 6 mm to 12 mm. Feed the line through the cleat. The progressive tooth design will grip it firmly. When you need to release the line, just apply a bit of force to overcome the holding power. As for maintenance, keep it clean by rinsing with fresh water after use, especially if it's been in saltwater. Check the fastenings regularly to ensure they're tight and in good condition. Avoid using the cleat with lines that are too thick or too thin, as this can cause excessive wear or reduce the holding power. If you notice any signs of wear on the cams or the line, replace them as soon as possible.
