Contemporary pull-up cleats check all the boxes

Mar 14, 2023

When in use, traditional fixed cleats are quite utilitarian. But they’re also trip and snag hazards, much to an owner’s dismay, and take away from the clean lines of a modern boat. Accon Marine’s 490 Series Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats are different. Not only do they have a sleek, contemporary design but retract to sit flush with the surface. When needed, they simply pull up and are ready for use.

Accon 490 Series Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats are made from polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a premium appearance. The slim tops are slightly convex for water runoff and to accommodate convenient fingertip lifting notches integrated on either side.

The cleats are available in three sizes. Accon’s 6″ model is 1.46″ wide and handles line up to .625″ in diameter; the 8″ L x 1.62″ W version is for .75″ line; and the 10″ L x 1.88″ W model accommodates line to 1″. They require 2.92″, 3.57″ and 3.67″ of mounting clearance below the surface, respectively.

Installing 490 Series Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats is straightforward. Using the supplied template, two holes are drilled and the cleat is installed. From underneath, the included external tooth lock washers are added with the smooth side up. Then, using a liquid thread lock, the nuts are added and tightened.
