Stainless Steel Pop Up Cleat 4 1/2 inch Mooring Hardware Fitting
Keep a cleat close to the gunwale when it is not needed with this 4½-inch stainless steel pop-up model. Its retractable, thin-profile format suits layouts where a permanent projecting cleat would occupy useful space.
Friction springs reduce rattling and hold the cleat up at the chosen position. The lift-and-lower arrangement lets you bring the cleat into use and retract it afterwards while keeping the same mounting location.
The stated size for code 409145 is 125 x 33mm, with a maximum hull thickness of 25mm. Check the actual material thickness at the fitting location, including any layers relevant to the mounting arrangement.
Plan the clearance beneath the surface as well as the visible footprint above it. A retractable cleat needs space for its moving parts and access for installation. Check its position against nearby fittings so the cleat can be raised and lowered without obstruction.
Choose the size from the full dimensions rather than the nominal inch designation alone. Match the mounting arrangement to the boat and intended line use; no numerical working-load limit is stated for this model.
Choosing and using this product
For this version, size 125 x 33mm. Use that specific detail when comparing the item with your existing equipment or planned installation. Other sizes and configurations in the range should be checked separately rather than treated as equivalent.
Include the attachment points in routine boat inspections. Keep moving or seating surfaces clear where applicable, and follow the product’s care instructions for its material and finish. Retaining the size and part code is useful when replacing another fitting elsewhere on the boat.
