Whitecap Hollow Base Stainless Steel Cleat - 8"

The Whitecap Hollow Base Stainless Steel Cleat in 8-inch length is a marine-grade deck fitting designed for secure rope management on vessels, docks, and offshore equipment. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this hollow base cleat delivers corrosion resistance critical for saltwater environments and extended outdoor exposure. At 1-9/16 inches in height, the design accommodates standard rope diameters while maintaining a low profile suitable for confined deck spaces.

The hollow base construction reduces weight while preserving structural integrity, making this 8-inch stainless steel cleat an efficient choice for applications where material conservation matters without sacrificing performance. Fastening is achieved through four 1/4-inch mounting holes, providing distributed load-bearing capacity across the mounting surface. The 316 stainless steel composition—a superior marine-grade alloy—outperforms standard 304 stainless in chloride resistance, essential for boats, coastal installations, and chemical exposure scenarios. This specification ensures decades of reliable service without degradation or pitting common in lower-grade materials.

This cleat suits commercial fishing vessels, sailboat rigging, industrial dock infrastructure, RV tie-down systems, and utility boat installations. The 8-inch length balances holding capacity for medium-diameter lines with practical sizing for standard deck layouts. Users working in saltwater or humid climates benefit from the superior corrosion resistance inherent to 316 stainless steel, which resists rust formation far longer than painted steel or lower-grade stainless alternatives.

Whitecap's marine hardware is recognized for engineering precision and material quality in demanding saltwater applications. The Whitecap 8-inch hollow base stainless steel cleat (MPN 6010C) is ideal for owners and operators who prioritize longevity and reliable performance in challenging marine environments.
