Accidently bought some Harken 150F cam cleats

[noexit]

I accidently bought some Harken 150 cam cleats that are marked as "Harken 150 Fishing"

This: https://www.imarineusa.com/Harken150F.aspx

instead of this: https://www.imarineusa.com/Harken150.aspx

There doesn't seem to be any outward difference, and I don't see the 150F listed on Harken's website. Any ideas what I have?

Sounds fishy.

Not a common designation. I'll bet they are the same product and 'fishing' was incorrectly added by one on-line retailer then propogated by a few others.

you should have seen the ones that got away

Possibly the same hardware in packaging intended to attract fisherfolk ...

 

[ROADKILL666]

Same thing.

This label is on the packaging itself, but since it's the same price, looks identical, and probably the same thing but labeled to attract fishing folks, I won't worry about it. Thanks.

they're probably stuffed with lead shot.

Do they have a metallic flake finish to blend in with the bass boat finish?

Noobs

They are exactly the same part but with a different backer card for fishing shops to hang on their pegs. Harken has a number of parts that they sell into the fishing world with fishing hanging cards. Not many fishermen will buy a part with a sailboat on it so it seems, so Harken changed the cards. Pretty smart actually.
