Mooring hardware protruding from a boat's deck can accidentally catch on tow ropes, fishing nets, toes and other things it shouldn't. The 460 Series Pull-Up Cleats from Accon Marine retract flush into the deck when not in use, ensuring they can't interfere with onboard activities nor contribute to painful injuries.

Featuring a sleek, compact design for installation where other flush-mount models won't fit, 460 Series Pull-Up Cleats are crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for exceptional strength and life-long durability. The cleat's smooth upper surface and integrated side tabs allow comfortable, rapid retraction and deployment without fear of pinched fingers or chipped fingernails. Its mounded base design allows any accumulated water to simply run off the cleat rather than pooling in place.

Available in 4-1/2", 6", 8" and 10" sizes to accommodate mooring lines from 1/2" up to 1" in diameter, 460 Series Pull-Up Cleats install easily, with no deck cut-out required. A detailed video at bit.ly/InstallPull-UpCleat demonstrates the simple process.

To help prolong its service life, retractable hardware should be regularly washed with soap and water. Once dry, a light spray of oil on all mechanisms helps keep parts moving smoothly. Accon Marine 460 Series Pull-Up Cleats have suggested retail prices starting at $70.24.
