Frequently Asked Questions
What cleat size do I need for my vessel?
Cleat size depends on your vessel's mooring line diameter and expected loads. For superyachts: 40-60m typically use 150-200mm cleats; 60-100m use 200-250mm cleats. We'll recommend the correct size based on your mooring configuration and deck space.
What is 316L stainless steel and why is it preferred?
316L is a marine-grade stainless steel with enhanced corrosion resistance due to molybdenum content. It resists saltwater corrosion significantly better than 304 stainless, making it ideal for exposed deck applications and high-corrosion environments.
Do you offer custom deck hardware fabrication?
Yes, we can custom fabricate deck hardware to your exact specifications. Provide drawings or samples, and we'll work with specialized fabricators to create custom cleats, brackets, padeyes, and other components in any material or finish.
How should deck hatches be sealed?
Proper sealing requires marine-grade gaskets (neoprene or silicone) and careful installation to ensure weathertight integrity. We supply hatches with integrated gaskets and can provide installation guidance. Professional installation is recommended for critical systems.
What is the difference between pulley block types?
Single sheave blocks have one pulley; double sheave have two; triple sheave have three. More sheaves allow better mechanical advantage but require more space. The choice depends on your rigging configuration, load, and available deck space.
How often should deck hardware be maintained?
Monthly rinsing with fresh water to remove salt deposits is recommended. Annual inspection for corrosion, cracks, and fastener security. Deep cleaning and re-coating/polishing every 2-3 years depending on cruising areas and exposure.
Can you supply hatches with integrated lighting?
Yes, we can source hatches with integrated LED lighting systems. This requires custom specification of voltage, IP rating, and light output. Contact us with your lighting requirements for options and lead times.
What certifications do your deck products carry?
All deck hardware complies with marine standards (ABS, DNV, Lloyd's). Custom-fabricated items carry material test certificates. Hatches meet weathertight and structural requirements. We supply all relevant documentation with orders.
