Gen3 Marine Stainless Steel Folding Dock Cleat, Top Mount, 4.625 Inch Base

The Gen3 Marine Stainless Steel Folding Dock Cleat is a top-mount cleat built for securing lines on boats and docks where deck depth is limited. Machined from marine-grade stainless steel, it resists corrosion and wear from constant exposure to sun, salt, and moisture, making it a durable long-term fixture for any dock or boat deck. The handle folds flush down into the cleat body when not in use, keeping the deck clear of a standing tripping hazard and giving the installation a clean, low-profile look. Smooth, rounded edges along the horns help prevent line fraying as a boat moves with wave and wake action, protecting rope life over repeated dockings.

This cleat mounts from the top of the deck, which suits installations where there is not enough depth underneath for a through-deck or side-mount cleat. It measures 4.625 inches in base length, 1.25 inches in base width, and 4.5 inches in handle length, sizing it for standard dock cleat applications on boats and docks alike. The finish is available in stainless steel with a black accent.
