Bow and stern chocks keep mooring lines from rubbing on the boat. But like any other protruding hardware, they're also trip and snag hazards. Pull-Up Line Chocks from Accon Marine solve this problem by retracting flush into the deck when not in use. While enhancing safety, they also contribute to a beautiful, sleek vessel profile.

Accon 500 Series Pull-Up Line Chocks are crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for maximum durability and a lifetime of smooth operation. They're available in both 4-1/2" and 6" sizes to accommodate rope diameters of up to 5/8" and 3/4" respectively. For proper line alignment throughout the vessel, Accon offers port and starboard skene models, plus a straight version for stern use.

Installation is easy; a template supplied with each unit facilitates the proper deck cut-out. The chock mounts with two stainless steel screws. An optional drain cup helps direct any collected water into the bilge or cockpit drain.

Accon Marine 500 Series Pull-Up Line Chocks enhance the look and safety of any boat, either installed as factory-original equipment or retrofitted to existing yachts. Sold in pairs, the port and starboard models have retail prices starting at $140.54; a single stern chock at $70.27.
