Folding Deck Cleat, AISI 316 Stainless Steel

• This folding deck cleat (316 stainless) offers a perfect blend of functionality and safety for your boat’s deck. When upright, it serves as a strong cleat for securing mooring or anchor lines; when folded down, it sits flush to the deck, eliminating any toe-stubbing hazards and preserving the boat’s sleek profile. Made from AISI 316 stainless steel, it is highly resistant to rust and pitting, which is essential for hardware mounted on deck and constantly exposed to the elements. The design includes smooth, rounded edges, preventing your ropes from getting cut or abraded, even under tension. Installation is straightforward – the cleat mounts with bolts, and its low-profile design is ideal for swim platforms, bows, or anywhere you want a cleat that won’t snag gear or lines when not in use. Available in two convenient sizes, this folding cleat is suitable for a variety of boats, from small runabouts to mid-sized yachts.

Key Features:

• Space-Saving Fold-Down Design – Cleat flips down flat into a recessed base when not needed, keeping the deck clear and safe from tripping hazards.
• Stainless Steel AISI 316 – Marine-grade 316 steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance and durability in saltwater environments.
• Smooth, Safe Edges – All edges are polished and rounded to protect mooring lines from chafing and to prevent injuries when walking on deck.
• Strong and Reliable – Despite its folding capability, the cleat is sturdy and reliable when deployed, providing a secure point to tie your boat.
• Two Sizes Available – Comes in 6-inch (152 mm) and 8-inch (200 mm) lengths to suit different vessel sizes and needs. Use the 6″ cleat for smaller boats and the 8″ cleat for larger boats or heavier duty applications.

Upgrade to these folding stainless steel cleats to enhance both the safety and aesthetics of your boat. When cruising or when moored, you’ll appreciate not having cleats protruding – especially important for areas where people walk or where fishing lines and ropes might snag. And when it’s time to dock, simply flip the cleat up to securely fasten your line. It’s a practical solution for modern boat decks, combining the strength you need with the low-profile style you want.
