Thread size of Cleat stud

[stbentoak]

Does anyone know the actual thread size of the studs on the stainless mooring cleats on the boat corners circa 2015 era? I would like to put some Elastic stop nuts on these as mine seem to work loose every year due to tying up etc.. Thanks!

I don’t know about the thread size, but maybe another option is Loctight?

Well, I do know about Loctite, but if something gets damaged or broken, you could play heck getting them off with it. Self-locking nuts "can" be removed if they need be..... I may just have to take it off and head for the hardware store....

Take one of the nuts to Ace Hardware, they have a thread gage so you know what you have. Make sure you get stainless steel.
