{"product_id":"gen3-marine-6-stainless-steel-folding-dock-cleat-top-mount-folds-flush-mpn-5-8042","title":"Gen3 Marine Stainless Steel Folding Dock Cleat, Top Mount, 6 Inch Base Length","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Gen3 Marine folding dock cleat is a top-mount cleat built from marine-grade stainless steel for use in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments. The folding design lets the handle drop flush into the cleat body when not in use, keeping the deck clear of tripping hazards and reducing snag points for lines, feet, and gear. The top-mount configuration is intended for decks where depth below the mounting surface is limited, making it a practical choice for smaller boats, docks, and swim platforms where a through-deck or side-mount cleat will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cleat measures 6 inches in base length and 1.375 inches in base width, with a 5.875 inch handle length when folded out, giving boaters a compact but functional tie-off point. Smooth edges on the horns help prevent line fraying as the boat moves against dock lines in chop or current. Finished in stainless steel, it resists corrosion better than painted or coated steel hardware and holds up to repeated exposure to sun, salt spray, and moisture.\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 5-8042\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folding Dock Cleat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\/black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the base length and width of this dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine folding dock cleat (5-8042) has a base length of 6 inches and a base width of 1.375 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the handle when it folds out?\u003c\/strong\u003e The handle length on the Gen3 Marine 5-8042 folding cleat is 5.875 inches when extended for use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat top mount or side mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a top-mount cleat, designed to be installed on decks or platforms where depth below the mounting surface is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Gen3 Marine 5-8042 cleat made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the handle fold flat when not in use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the folding handle on the 5-8042 cleat drops flush into the cleat body, reducing tripping hazards on deck when the cleat is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this dock cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine folding dock cleat weighs 0.8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color or finish does this cleat come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-8042 cleat has a stainless steel finish with black accents on the folding handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cleat prevent my dock lines from fraying?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cleat has smooth edges designed to help reduce fraying of rope as a boat moves against its lines while docked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat suitable for saltwater use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the stainless steel construction of the Gen3 Marine 5-8042 cleat is intended to withstand harsh marine environments, including saltwater exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boat or application is this cleat meant for?\u003c\/strong\u003e With its compact 6 inch base length, the 5-8042 folding cleat suits smaller boats, docks, and swim platforms where deck depth limits the use of larger or through-deck cleats.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991698944219,"sku":"GEN-5-8042","price":16.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31RNmFspGCL.jpg?v=1784510142","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-6-stainless-steel-folding-dock-cleat-top-mount-folds-flush-mpn-5-8042","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
