Boat cleats are an integral part of docking and tying up your boat. They are used to tie ropes through during the docking process to secure your vessel to the dock. These cleats or rope cleats take on a large amount of stress and may need to be upgraded or replaced. This inexpensive boat part is easy to replace and can provide peace of mind that your boat is going to remain securely attached to the dock.
Horn cleats are the most popular type of cleat used in many boating applications. This traditional designed cleat has two “horns” that are installed parallel to the dock. We carry a wider variety of horn cleats in various materials. The Sea Dog Open Base Aluminum Dock Cleat is a standard horn cleat made with die-cast aluminum construction. more

Cleats are used to tie-down the rope attached to your boat while docking to keep your boat from floating away or moving around too much. There are many different types of cleats on the market but there is no "specific" difference between a boat cleat and dock cleat. However, most people use stainless steel or chrome cleats on their boat and galvanized steel on their dock.
The galvanized steel cleats look more raw, they're heavier but are far-less expensive than stainless, therefore people prefer to use them on their docks. Stainless steel and chrome are much more attractive looking, so people use them on their boats. All of them perform the same task and are equally as durable. more
Chocks or Bow Chocks are attached to the bow of your boat and are used as a guide for your rope line and to keep your rope from chaffing against the sides of your boat. They can be used while docked at a boat dock or mooring offshore.
