Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, it resists corrosion and wear in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments alike. Its folding design lets the handle fold flush down into the base when not in use, keeping the deck clear of a standing tripping hazard, then flip back up in seconds when you need to tie off a line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cleat is designed for top mounting, making it a good fit for decks where depth below the mounting surface is limited and a through-deck or side-mount cleat will not work. The smooth edges of the horns help prevent fraying and chafing of dock lines as the boat moves with wave and wake action. With a base length of 7.75 inches, a base width of 1.875 inches, and a folded handle length of 8 inches, it is sized for typical dock and swim platform applications where a compact, low-profile cleat is preferred over a larger fixed cleat.\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 5-8043\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\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\/black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Gen3 Marine 5-8043 dock cleat made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of marine-grade stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat top mount or through-deck?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8043 is a top-mount cleat, designed for installation on decks where depth below the mounting surface is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the handle fold down when not in use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the handle on this folding dock cleat folds flush into the base, eliminating a raised tripping hazard on deck when the cleat is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 5-8043 cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The base measures 7.75 inches in length and 1.875 inches in width, with a handle length of 8 inches when folded up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this dock cleat weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-8043 folding dock cleat weighs 1.7 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color or finish does this cleat come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e It comes in a stainless steel finish with black accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cleat's edges damage or fray my dock lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 5-8043 cleat has smooth edges designed to help prevent fraying of rope as the boat moves against the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this cleat typically used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is used to secure a boat to a dock, piling, or swim platform, providing a tie-off point for dock lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mount this cleat where deck space below is shallow?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the top-mount design of the Gen3 Marine 5-8043 is intended for decks where limited depth prevents through-mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the 5-8043 dock cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The product includes one Gen3 Marine 8 inch stainless folding dock cleat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991699173595,"sku":"GEN-5-8043","price":30.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31hdreioN4L.jpg?v=1784510152","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-8-stainless-steel-folding-dock-cleat-top-mount-folds-flush-mpn-5-8043","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
