The Attwood 6-inch retractable stainless steel Neat Cleat gives a tie-off point that can be lowered when it is not needed, reducing deck clutter and the chance of snagging lines, clothing, or gear on a permanently raised cleat. It is suited to marine installations where a clean deck profile is desirable between docking or mooring tasks.
Stainless-steel construction gives strength and corrosion resistance for exposed marine service. The retractable mechanism keeps the cleat available when needed while allowing it to sit lower against the mounting surface after use, helping preserve a cleaner appearance and a less obstructed walking area.
Install the cleat only on a structurally suitable surface with adequate clearance below for the retracting mechanism and appropriate backing for expected line loads. Use marine-grade fasteners and seal penetrations as required. Inspect the cleat, mounting hardware, and mechanism periodically before relying on it for docking or mooring.
- The retractable design reduces protrusions that can snag gear or interfere with movement.
- Stainless-steel construction supports strength and corrosion resistance in exposed service.
- The cleat lowers toward the mounting surface instead of remaining permanently raised.
- Proper backing and fastening allow line loads to be transferred into a suitable deck structure.
