Gen3 Marine 6 Inch Galvanized Dock Cleat for Boats

The Gen3 Marine 6 Inch Galvanized Dock Cleat is a compact mooring cleat designed for securing small to medium-sized boats to a dock, piling, or seawall. Constructed from galvanized iron, the cleat carries a durable galvanized finish that resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The horn-and-base design provides smooth edges to help protect dock lines from fraying or chafing during repeated use, and the cleat is sized to accommodate a range of dock line diameters.

Measuring 6 inches in overall length, this cleat is a practical choice for docks, swim platforms, small craft, and utility mounting points where a compact, economical cleat is needed. It mounts with through-bolts (not included) to a flat deck or dock surface.
