Retractable cleats preserve a boat's lines and improve safety, but can't always be installed where needed due to the presence of structural elements under the deck. The Surface Mount Folding Cleat from Accon Marine provides all the benefits of retractable hardware in a reliable design that fits almost anywhere.

Available in 89, 114, 152 and 203mm sizes, Accon Marine Surface Mount Folding Cleats are offered in traditional through-bolted models with visible mounting screws or stud-mounted versions with hidden fasteners. Its innovative design allows it to lock down when not needed and spring up ready for use with a push of the integrated release button. Crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel for long life, each cleat is highly polished to a mirror finish.

With no need for deck cut-outs, drain tubes or additional hardware, this cleat offers the simplest installation of any retractable model in the industry.
