Marine Straight Bow Chock (also commonly referred to as a triangle bow chock or fairlead line cleat). It is a piece of deck hardware mounted to the bow or gunwale of a vessel to guide mooring lines, dock lines, or anchor ropes smoothly while preventing them from chafing against the boat's hull.
Key Characteristics:
Material: Usually cast from marine-grade 316 stainless steel or chrome-plated brass for high resistance to saltwater corrosion and a mirror-polished look.
Design: Unlike directional "Skene" chocks that angle either to the left or right, this triangular base configuration functions symmetrically to safely trap and funnel a rope through its top opening.
Mounting: It features pre-drilled countersunk holes on each side flange for flat-head fasteners to mount securely flush against the deck.
