When you need a better angle to cleat and uncleat a line, use a wedge for the Harken 150 cam cleat (our #Z3696). This does include the underside angled washer, as shown in the photo.
Unlike the thicker version, our Z5435, this wedge has slotted holes for fasteners to allow the cam cleat to be installed in either direction, whereas the thicker only allows the line to enter the low side and cleat on the high side.
• Height:
Thin side: ~ 1mm (~1/32")
Thick side: ~ 9mm (~3/8")
• Fastener details:
Slots on 38mm (1.5") centers (allows cam to be installed in either direction)
Schaefer's 70-17 cam cleat (our #Z2438) base is a different shape and not a perfect fit for the Harken riser even though the mount holes match.
