Its S-shaped horn design lets you loop a dock line around the cleat quickly and hold it firmly in place, making it easy to tie off or release a line without fighting the hardware. The cleat is built from galvanized aluminum, giving it corrosion resistance for use in both saltwater and freshwater environments, so it holds up to ongoing exposure without the finish breaking down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base uses an extra-wide footprint of approximately 6 inches (15 cm), which spreads mounting stress across a larger area for a stronger, more stable hold when a line is under load. The mounting hole is recessed into the cleat body, which keeps the line off the mounting hardware and reduces chafing and fraying at the point where the line passes over the base. The cleat has a silver finish and is sized at 12 inches overall, making it suited for securing mooring or dock lines on recreational boats, docks, and similar marine or waterfront applications.\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 5-7026\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-shaped horn cleat\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6 inches (15 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recessed mounting hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dock Cleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Gen3 Marine 5-7026 dock cleat used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a 12 inch aluminum S dock cleat used to secure dock lines on recreational boats and docks, letting you loop and tie off a mooring line around its S-shaped horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is this dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-7026 is 12 inches long overall, with an extra-wide base footprint of approximately 6 inches (15 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the cleat made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from galvanized aluminum, which is corrosion resistant for use in both saltwater and freshwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cleat rust or corrode over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e The galvanized aluminum construction of part number 5-7026 is corrosion resistant, so it is built to hold up in marine environments without rusting the way untreated steel would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the mounting hole recessed?\u003c\/strong\u003e The recessed mounting hole on the 5-7026 dock cleat keeps the dock line from rubbing directly against the mounting hardware, which reduces chafing and fraying of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the wide base footprint matter for installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the approximately 6 inch (15 cm) wide base spreads mounting stress over a larger area, giving the cleat added strength and a more stable, secure hold once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color does this cleat come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 12 inch S dock cleat has a silver finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat suitable for both boats and docks?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 5-7026 is designed for securing recreational boats to docks and can be mounted on dock structures as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this dock cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-7026 dock cleat weighs 0.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box with this cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The package includes one Gen3 Marine 5-7026 aluminum S dock cleat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991689572571,"sku":"GEN-5-7026","price":2.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41meScPmNoL.jpg?v=1784509926","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-12-aluminum-s-dock-cleat-corrosion-resistant-wide-base-boat-cleat-silver","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
