Gen3 Marine 10 Inch Hollow Base Dock Cleat, 316 Stainless Steel

The Gen3 Marine 10 Inch Hollow Base Dock Cleat (part number 5-8036) is a heavy duty mooring cleat built for large recreational vessels and yachts that need to secure multiple dock lines under heavier loads. Constructed of 316 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in both fresh and saltwater environments, making it suitable for permanent dockside installation or use aboard the vessel itself. The hollow base design reduces overall weight while maintaining the strength needed for demanding mooring and docking duty. Its horn shape and open, hollow underside accommodate multiple dock lines at once, which is useful on larger boats that run more than one line per cleat during mooring, anchoring, or towing. At 10.25 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 2 inches high, this cleat is sized for larger vessels and heavier-duty applications rather than small boats or dinghies. It weighs 1.2 pounds. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction is intended to hold up to continuous marine exposure without pitting or rusting, and the finish is consistent with other Gen3 Marine stainless hardware for a matched look on deck or dock.
