Its classic S-shape horn design makes it simple to loop and cinch dock lines quickly, giving you a strong, dependable hold whether you are tying up for the afternoon or leaving your boat moored overnight. The cleat is constructed from heavy-duty galvanized aluminum, which resists corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments, making it a low-maintenance choice for marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base features an extra-wide footprint of approximately 6 inches (15 cm), which spreads mounting stress across a larger surface area for added strength and stability under load. Each mounting hole is recessed into the cleat body, which keeps the dock line away from sharp edges and hardware, reducing chafing and fraying over time and extending the life of your line. At 15 inches long, this cleat is sized for boats and docks that need a substantial cleat with real holding power, and its silver aluminum finish blends in with most dock and hull color schemes.\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 5-8027\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 15 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\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recessed design to reduce line chafing\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 size is the Gen3 Marine 5-8027 dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8027 dock cleat measures 15 inches long with a base footprint of approximately 6 inches (15 cm) wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is this dock cleat made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cleat is made from heavy-duty galvanized aluminum, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cleat rust in saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The galvanized aluminum construction of the 5-8027 cleat is built to resist corrosion in saltwater as well as freshwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Gen3 Marine 15 inch dock cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 2.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I tie a line to this cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-8027 uses a classic S-shape horn design, which lets you loop a dock line around the horns in a figure-eight pattern for a secure, quick-release hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the mounting hole design protect my dock lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
