Stainless Steel Boat Cleat – AISI 316 is a fixed marine deck fitting designed to provide a practical point for securing mooring lines, dock lines, fender ropes, and other onboard lines. Its traditional horn-style profile allows rope to be wrapped around the centre and secured over the extended ends. This makes the cleat suitable for line handling on boats, yachts, docks, pontoons, and other marine structures where an accessible tie-off point is required.

Manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel, this marine cleat is intended for marine and outdoor installations where the fitting may be exposed to moisture and changing weather conditions. The smooth metallic finish provides a clean appearance that complements stainless steel deck hardware, rail fittings, and other boat accessories. Its low-profile body also helps maintain a neat deck layout while keeping both cleat horns accessible when securing or releasing a line.

The cleat has two integrated mounting bases with fixing holes for surface installation on a suitable deck, gunwale, dock or structural mounting area. The fixing position, fasteners, backing support and installation method should be selected according to the mounting surface and intended application. Mounting hardware, hole dimensions, working-load ratings and installation accessories are not specified, so these requirements should be confirmed before purchase and installation. For secure and dependable use, the cleat should be fitted to a sound surface using appropriately selected marine fasteners and reinforcement where required.

Four length options are available to accommodate different installation spaces and rope-handling requirements. Model 80041-04 has a length of 4 inches (100 mm), while model 80041-06 measures 6 inches (150 mm). The larger 80041-08 version measures 8 inches (200 mm), and model 80041-10 measures 10 inches (250 mm). This size range allows buyers to select a cleat according to the available mounting area, vessel layout, and intended line arrangement. Rope diameter and application requirements should be checked against the selected cleat size before ordering.

As a fixed mooring cleat, it can be positioned where lines need to remain easy to reach, including near the bow, stern, side deck, or docking area. It may also be used as one of the boat fender cleats for tying fender lines, subject to suitable placement and installation. The open horn design supports familiar cleat-hitch line handling and allows the rope to be adjusted or removed without operating a latch, hinge, or folding mechanism.

These stainless steel boat cleats are suitable for new installations, vessel maintenance, and replacement of an existing cleat when the dimensions and mounting arrangement are appropriate. They may also be considered as stainless steel dock cleats for suitable dock or pontoon projects. Before replacing an existing fitting, buyers should compare the overall cleat length, fixing-hole arrangement, and available mounting space because the product length alone does not confirm direct compatibility.
