Perko Open Base Cleat, 3 Inch Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy Boat Cleat

The Perko 0566DP3CHR is a 3 inch open base cleat built for securing dock lines and mooring rope aboard boats and on dock installations. It is cast from zinc alloy and finished in chrome plating for a bright, corrosion-resistant surface that holds up in a marine environment. The open base design leaves the underside of the horns accessible, making it easy to wrap and cleat off a line quickly, and the compact 3 inch overall length suits smaller boats, dinghies, and dock edges where space is limited. Each cleat mounts with screws sized to the number 8 fastener and is rated for rope up to 3/8 inch in diameter, which covers most dock lines and fender lines used on smaller craft. The base measures 3-1/8 inches by 1-1/2 inches, giving a stable footprint for through-bolting or screwing to a flat mounting surface. This cleat is sold in pairs, so one purchase equips both sides of a bow, stern, or dock cleat pair. The chrome plated zinc alloy construction pairs classic hardware styling with the durability needed for repeated line loading, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade for aging or corroded deck hardware.
