The name for these metal fittings is cleats.
Cleats refer to the hooks on your boat and the dock where you can fasten a boat in order to keep it from flowing away while you're not using it. A keel is located under your boat and provides stability; a transom is the part of your boat on the stern where the motor is located; a tiller is a lever you use to turn your boat.
