No load rating is published for it, so treat it as a tie-off point rather than a rated mooring bollard for a heavy boat. The fitting is rarely the weak link anyway, the deck it bolts through is. Spread the load with a backing plate underneath.
Low profile is the whole point. A slimline sits close to the deck so sheets, feet and fishing line are less likely to snag on it, which suits side decks and gunwales on a tinnie. The trade-off is less room to get a proper wrap of rope on.
Stainless against bare aluminium in salt air sets up galvanic corrosion, and the alloy is the one that gives way. Bed the cleat on marine sealant, use isolation washers under the heads, and keep the fasteners stainless rather than mixing in galvanised gear. Check it again next season.
