marine straight bow chock (also commonly referred to as a triangle bow chock or fairlead line cleat).It is designed to be mounted on the bow or gunwale of a boat to guide mooring lines, dock lines, or anchor ropes smoothly, preventing them from rubbing against and damaging the boat’s fiberglass or gelcoat.
Key Characteristics:
Symmetrical Design: Unlike directional "Skene" chocks that angle either to the left or right, this straight/triangular design is universal. It can be used on either the port or starboard side of the vessel. The inward-curving horns allow you to easily drop a line in while keeping it securely trapped under load.
Premium Material: It is typically cast from high-polished 316 stainless steel or chrome-plated brass to provide maximum resistance against harsh saltwater corrosion.
Flange Mounting: It features two pre-drilled countersunk mounting holes on the outer wings for flat-head screws or bolts, ensuring a flush and snag-free installation on the deck.
