While needed for docking and rafting, cleats are often in the way. They snag sheets and fishing line, and really hurt if stubbed with a toe. 202 Series Pop-Up® Cleats from Accon Marine are completely different. They retract into the deck or gunwale, providing a smooth, elegant appearance. With the touch of a button, they pop up ready for use.

Available in 114mm, 152mm, 203mm and 254mm sizes, 202 Series Pop-Up Cleats offer the same secure holding power as a standard cleat. In testing, the 152mm model held an astounding 5,170kg. Made from polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel, they're an attractive, easy-to-install upgrade to any boat.

Each 202 Series Pop-Up Cleat comes with a stainless steel backing plate that doubles as a template. Installation requires only four screws and backing cups are available. The 114mm model is available in top mount, while the 152mm, 203mm and 254mm sizes can be ordered as either top or hidden stud mount. They are warrantied for the life of the boat.
