Gear: Flush-mount chocks solve clutter

Flush Mount Chocks

Feb 23, 2022

For most boat owners, two things come to mind when they think about chocks. The first is that they’re perfect for leading lines across a deck to avoid rubbing gelcoat or putting strain on a rail or stanchion. The second is that they stub toes, catch sail sheets and fishing lines, and detract from a clean sheer. Accon Marine Flush-Mount Chocks offer the ideal solution.

Retracted into their base, they provide a smooth, clutter-free appearance; when needed, they quickly pull up ready for use.

Accon Flush-Mount Chocks are manufactured from polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel. They’re offered in 4-1/2″ and 6″ sizes for 5/8″ and 3/4″ lines, respectively. Each is available individually as a straight chock for use on the stern, and as a pair of angled port and starboard bow chocks.

Installing Flush-Mount Chocks is simple with everyday tools. Each chock includes a cut-out template. The 4-1/2″ model has a 4-5/8″ L x 1-1/2″ W base that surface mounts with two #10 screws. The 6-1/8″ L x 2-3/4″ W base of the 6″ version fastens with two 1/4″ screws.

Suggested retail prices for Accon Marine Flush-Mount Chocks are US$168.50 for a set of 4-1/2″ port and starboard angled chocks (model 500) and $84.25 for the 4″ straight stern chock (501-4). The 6″ versions are US$258.42 (model 500-6) and US$129.21 (501-6). Folding models are also available.

There is always a lot of action going on at boat shows, but I was a bit startled at the Miami show to be walking along checking out exhibitors when just to my right I heard the music of Jimmy Buffett start up and looked over to see a small machine that was blinking away and lighting up like a robot from Star Wars.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
