Gen3 Marine 10 Inch Galvanized Dock Cleat
The Gen3 Marine 10 Inch Galvanized Dock Cleat is a heavy duty mooring cleat built for securing recreational boats to docks, pilings, and swim platforms. Constructed with a galvanized finish, this cleat resists corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments, making it a reliable choice for boaters who dock in a variety of conditions. The cleat measures 10 x 1.5 x 2.5 inches and weighs 2.1 pounds, giving it enough mass and surface area to handle everyday docking loads without flexing or pulling loose from properly fastened mounting hardware.
Smooth edges are machined into the horns and base of the cleat so that dock lines are protected from fraying or chafing as they are tied off, cleated, or released during routine dockside use. The open horn design accommodates different sizes of dock lines, from smaller fender lines to heavier mooring lines, giving boat owners flexibility without needing multiple cleat styles. Its compact 10 inch length makes it suitable for mounting on gunwales, docks, swim platforms, or other flat surfaces where a dependable tie-off point is needed.
