Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Seasucker technology work?
Seasucker technology utilizes a powerful vacuum pump within a flexible rubber cup, creating a strong seal against a non-porous surface when the lever is engaged. This generates significant atmospheric pressure that holds the mount securely in place without fasteners.
What surfaces can the Tigress Portable Seasucker Cam Cleat attach to?
This cam cleat can securely attach to any clean, flat, non-porous surface, including gelcoat, fiberglass, polished metal, and tempered glass, commonly found on boat hulls, windshields, or hardtops.
What can I use the cam cleat for besides outrigger halyards?
Beyond outrigger and center rigger halyards, it is highly effective for securing boat fenders, managing dock lines temporarily, controlling dinghy painter lines, or acting as a quick tie-off point for various gear and safety equipment.
Is drilling required to install this cam cleat?
No, drilling is not required. The Tigress Portable Seasucker Cam Cleat utilizes a vacuum mount system that attaches and detaches without any need for tools or permanent hull modifications.
What is the weight capacity of the Seasucker mount?
While a specific numerical weight capacity is not provided, Seasucker mounts are engineered for substantial holding power, suitable for managing dynamic loads such as halyards under tension and the weight of multiple fenders.
