Its S-shaped horn profile makes it easy to loop and unloop dock lines quickly, giving boaters a dependable point to tie off at the slip or along a dock edge. The cleat is built from aluminum with a galvanized finish, which resists corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments so the cleat holds up to repeated marine exposure without heavy maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base of the cleat has an extra-wide footprint, approximately 6 inches (15 cm), which spreads mounting stress over a larger area for a more stable, secure installation compared to narrow-base cleats. The mounting hole is recessed into the base, which keeps the dock line clear of the fastener head and reduces chafing and fraying where the line crosses the cleat. The cleat has a silver finish that matches typical marine hardware. At 10 inches long, it suits a range of dock and boat mounting locations where a mid-to-large cleat is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen3 Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-8025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dock Cleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e S-shape horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6 inches (15 cm), extra-wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanized, corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recessed, chafe-reducing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Gen3 Marine 5-8025 dock cleat used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8025 is a 10 inch aluminum S dock cleat used to secure dock lines on recreational boats and docks, letting a line be looped around the horns and tied off securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 5-8025 dock cleat made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from aluminum with a galvanized finish, which is chosen for its corrosion resistance in both saltwater and freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8025 measures 10 inches in length, with a base footprint of approximately 6 inches (15 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 5-8025 dock cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 1.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cleat rust in saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the aluminum construction with a galvanized finish on the 5-8025 is designed to resist corrosion in saltwater and freshwater marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Gen3 Marine 5-8025 cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a silver finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the base described as extra-wide?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-8025 has an extra-wide base, approximately 6 inches (15 cm), which adds strength and stability so the mount holds securely under load from dock lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the mounting hole cause the line to chafe?\u003c\/strong\u003e The mounting hole on this cleat is recessed, which keeps the dock line away from the fastener and reduces chafing and fraying over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box with this cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The package includes one Gen3 Marine 10 inch aluminum S dock cleat (part 5-8025).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat suitable for both boats and docks?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 5-8025 S dock cleat is designed for mounting on either recreational boats or dock structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shape are the horns on this cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-8025 uses an S-shaped horn design, which makes it easy to loop a dock line around for a secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991697174747,"sku":"GEN-5-8025","price":9.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31NC55genOL.jpg?v=1784510071","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-10-aluminum-s-dock-cleat-corrosion-resistant-extra-wide-footprint-for-boats-and-docks","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
