Pull Up Cleats

Mar 24, 2022

Many boaters prefer the clean appearance and greater safety of modern pull-up cleats that retract flush into the deck when not in use. But depending on where they need to be installed, limited mounting room can make it difficult. Series 490 Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats from Accon Marine feature a sleek, compact design that allows use in even challenging spaces where other flush-mount hardware simply won’t fit.

Made from polished, marine-grade 316 stainless steel for extreme durability and a lifetime of good looks, Series 490 Pull-Up Cleats feature a fresh, modern aesthetic that complements the contemporary profile of today’s boats. A neat recess formed in the cleat allows it to be pulled up easily when required for mooring, while its broad flat top pushes effortlessly flush into the deck when no longer needed. The cleat’s mounded base allows water to run off without pooling, while its compact, innovative design eliminates the need for a cut-out, making installation quick and easy. A helpful online video at bit.ly/2tceAgA demonstrates the process on a similar Accon cleat.

Available in 6″, 8″ and 10″ sizes to accommodate mooring line sizes of up to 5/8″, 3/4″ and 1″ respectively, Series 490 Rectangular Pull-Up Cleats suit a wide range of boats and yachts as both original equipment or a thoughtful upgrade for DIY refits. MSRP starts at $92.82.

Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
