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.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
