316 Stainless Steel K-Type Open-Base Horn Cleat (frequently called an "S-Type" or sleek-line open-base boat cleat).
Key Features & Design Architecture
K-Type Slanted Profile: The vertical mounting pillars feature a distinctive swept, angular stance resembling the letter "K" or an elongated "S". This geometry angles the horn slightly to better distribute high-impact pulling forces from mooring lines.
Open-Base Cavity: The central arched opening allows dock lines to be fed completely through the center before wrapping. This allows captains to use secure loops or bowline knots alongside standard figure-eight hitches.
Hidden Stud-Mount Bottom: Threaded mounting bolts extend straight down from the underside of the feet. This keeps the upper surfaces completely flush and seamless, leaving no exposed screw pockets to collect salt water or dirt.
Mirror-Polished Finish: Precision investment-cast from solid marine-grade 316 stainless steel and polished to a bright mirror shine for peak corrosion defense against coastal salt spray.
To finalize your technical setup, please specify:
What overall horn length (e.g., 5", 6", 8", or 10") do you need to handle your dock line thickness?
Are you checking for the exact center-to-center spacing of the mounting studs underneath to reuse old holes?
Would you like a guide on selecting a heavy-duty under-deck backing plate for reinforcement?
