Hollow Base Boat Cleat (also commonly referred to as an open-base dock cleat or hollow mooring bollard). This classic, reliable profile is engineered to secure lines on boat decks, personal watercraft, and docks.
Architectural & Functional Details
Hollow Base Design: The opening beneath the main horizontal crossbar maximizes line-handling versatility. It allows a spliced loop or a dock line's eye to be passed entirely through the hollow center and looped back over the horns, enabling fast and secure tie-offs.
Low-Profile Structural Feet: Unlike standard bollards that utilize singular central posts, this cleat design rises via two distinct, widely spaced legs integrated seamlessly into a solid mounting flange. This layout evenly distributes side-to-side shearing stress under erratic water motion.
Premium Alloy Cast: It is typically cast from high-tensile 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel to maintain complete resistance against harsh saltwater corrosion, pitting, and oxidation.
Friction-Reducing Polish: The hardware features a smooth, high-precision mirror polish. This slick finish minimizes abrasive friction, ensuring synthetic mooring lines run cleanly across the horns without fraying or tearing.
