Sea-Dog Pull-Up Cleat 316 Stainless Steel | 041426
Sea-Dog Pull-Up Cleat 316 Stainless Steel | 041426 — Product description
Sea-Dog's Pull-Up Cleat gives you a solid tie-off point that folds flush with the deck when you're done. Cast from 316 stainless, it stands up to saltwater without the streaking or pitting. Pull it up to make off a line, fold it back down, and you've got a clean deck with nothing to stub a toe on.
The Sea-Dog Pull-Up Cleat solves a problem every boater knows. You need a place to make off a line, but a fixed horn cleat sitting proud of the deck is the thing you catch a toe on, snag a jib sheet on, or trip over in the dark. This one folds flat when it's not in use and pulls straight up when you need it. Measures 6-1/4 inches long and stands 2-1/4 inches when raised.
It's cast from 316 stainless steel, and that's the spec that matters here. 316 is the marine grade, the alloy with the molybdenum that shrugs off saltwater. That's the grade you want on a boat that lives in salt water, not fresh. You'll get years out of it on an open bay boat without the rust streaks and pitting that show up on lesser hardware. Rinse it now and then and it keeps that clean look.
Where does it earn its keep? Foredecks and side decks where you're walking, working the anchor, or handling sail. Sailors love a flush cleat up on the bow because there's nothing to foul a sheet or a spinnaker line. Runabout and cruiser owners like them on the gunwale for a clean look and a toe-safe deck. Anywhere a standard cleat would be in the way, this one gets out of the way.
This ships as a bulk package, so you're getting the cleat itself without the retail blister card. That's how we like to sell working hardware. If you're rigging out a new deck or swapping a tired old cleat, order what you need for the job. Bed it in a good marine sealant and back it with a plate or large fender washers so it holds under a real load, same as any deck cleat. Not sure how many you need or how they mount? Give us a shout, we rig these all the time.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pull-up cleat?
It's a cleat that sits low and folds flat with the deck when you're not using it, then pulls straight up when you need to make off a line. It keeps a clean deck with nothing standing proud to catch a toe or snag a sheet.
Is 316 stainless steel better for saltwater?
Yes. 316 is the marine grade, alloyed with molybdenum for extra corrosion resistance. It holds up in salt water far better than lower grades, which is exactly what you want on deck hardware that lives outside.
How big is this cleat?
It measures 6-1/4 inches long and stands 2-1/4 inches tall when raised. That's a common mid-size cleat that handles dock and anchor lines on most trailerable and mid-size boats.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
It ships as a bulk package, so plan on supplying your own fasteners to suit your deck thickness. We recommend bedding it in marine sealant and backing it with a plate or large fender washers. Not sure what you need? Reach out and we'll match it up.
Where should I mount a pull-up cleat?
Foredecks, side decks, and gunwales are the usual spots, anywhere a standard horn cleat would be in the way of walking or working. Sailors like them on the bow where a flush cleat won't foul a sheet or spinnaker line.
Will it hold a dock line under load?
For its size, yes, as long as it's mounted right. Back it with a plate or large washers and bed it in sealant so the load spreads into the deck instead of tearing at the fasteners. Match the cleat size to your line and boat.
