Boat Cleats & Marine Chocks

Cam cleats and deck chocks are only the beginning at Defender Marine. There is a full lineup of traditional boat cleats, pop-up cleats, and rope clutches.

How strong is the average boat cleat? Topside cleats secured to the deck are frankly as strong as their fasteners and blocking. That said, Defender offers, a variety of sizes of boat cleats that can handle any size mooring ropes.

Sailboat Cleats vs. Powerboat Cleats.

Cleats specific to sailing include self-jamming cleats and cam cleats for sail ropes. These types of cleats and cams offer sailors an assist by locking down on the ropes while sailing. Powerboat cleats are used mainly for tie-down and hanging bumpers or towing. Backing for and placement of boat cleats adjusts depending on the application.

What are marine cleats made of?

At Defender, boat cleats are offered in galvanized, aluminum, stainless steel, and composite materials. Stainless steel pop-up cleats create a streamlined, trip-free deck in small boat applications.
