Made from aluminum, the cleat resists corrosion for long-term outdoor use at the dock or on deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts S-shaped horn design lets you loop a dock line around the cleat quickly and hold it securely, keeping your vessel in place. The base uses an extra-wide footprint, approximately 6 inches (15 cm), which spreads mounting stress across a larger area for a stronger, more stable hold when the cleat is fastened down. A recessed mounting hole is built into the design so the dock line sits away from the fastener, reducing chafing and fraying of the line over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 12 inches long, this cleat suits boats and dock installations where a larger cleat is needed to handle line loads securely. It ships as a single dock cleat unit.\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 5-8026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dock Cleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Footprint Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 6 inches (15 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recessed, chafe-reducing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dock Cleat (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Gen3 Marine 5-8026 dock cleat made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8026 dock cleat is made of aluminum, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Gen3 Marine dock cleat measures 12 inches in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow wide is the base of the cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The base footprint of the Gen3 Marine 5-8026 dock cleat is approximately 6 inches (15 cm) wide, which is designed to add strength and stability to the mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cleat rust in saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Gen3 Marine 5-8026 is made of aluminum specifically to resist corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the recessed mounting hole do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The recessed mounting hole on the Gen3 Marine 5-8026 dock cleat protects the dock line from chafing and fraying by keeping the line away from the fastener, extending the line's usable life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat suitable for larger boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 12 inches long with an extra-wide base footprint, the Gen3 Marine 5-8026 cleat is sized for securing recreational boats that need a larger cleat to handle dock line loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color does this cleat come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8026 dock cleat has a silver aluminum finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this dock cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8026 dock cleat weighs 2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order this cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e An order of the Gen3 Marine 5-8026 includes one dock cleat unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it called an S dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8026 gets its name from its S-shaped horn design, which makes it easy to loop a dock line around the cleat for a secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991697666267,"sku":"GEN-5-8026","price":15.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41meScPmNoL_cd05551e-1f73-4994-9726-2725c83e6259.jpg?v=1784510074","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-12-aluminum-s-dock-cleat-corrosion-resistant-extra-wide-footprint","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
