Gen3 Marine 10 Inch Aluminum S Dock Cleat, Part 5-8025, Corrosion Resistant, Extra Wide Base

The Gen3 Marine 10 Inch Aluminum S Dock Cleat (part number 5-8025) is a deck-mounted cleat designed for securing dock lines on recreational boats and docks. 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.

The 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.
