The cleats I have are massive and just over 10″. Definitely not
aluminum. Definitely plated. I can see from the holes I covered that
the original cleats had closer spread mounting holes.

I am thinking I might end up with Sea-Dog heavy cleats 041712 (12″) on
the bow and 041710 (10″) on the stern.

The original cleats on our boat were marinium cleats, a cast aluminum
alloy. I believe they were made by Wilcox Crittenden. They certainly
were not chrome plated. They are relatively light in feel but heavy
walled. We have several “new” in the basement here that we picked up
on ebay several years ago – I think 2 of them are the 10″ with 4 screw
base.

As for re-chroming – no experience.

So nobody here has any experience with re-chroming any parts?

$3000?

Gosh, what do you think replating a winch drum would cost?

Pete, re-chroming has become really expensive due to commodity pricing. I looked into doing the bronze bang rail. 3K.
Chrome plated bronze holds up really well over time if cared for.
I’ve got a good shop I use in VA Beach if you are interested.
