It pulls up when a dock line is needed and pushes down into a low profile position when not in use, which helps keep walkways, fishing areas, and boarding points cleaner underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cleat range uses 7\/8 inch stainless steel stanchions with internal friction springs that hold the cleat up at any position. Drainage receptacles are included to capture water that enters around the stanchions and route it toward the bilge through 1\/4 inch OD pitot tubing, which is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetractable pop-up layout reduces exposed hardware on decks, gunwales, swim platforms, and other traffic areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction with 7\/8 inch stanchions supports use in wet marine environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal friction springs hold the cleat up while lines are being handled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow profile shape helps reduce line snags, toe stubs, and clutter around working areas on board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-hole installation works well on narrow gunwales when the deck structure has enough backing and clearance below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrainage receptacles are included and can route moisture toward the bilge with standard 1\/4 inch OD pitot tubing, sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Neat Cleat is offered in multiple lengths so the cleat can be matched to the boat size, line size, and the available mounting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cleat length changes between variants. The retractable layout, stainless steel construction, friction-spring action, and drainage receptacle design remain consistent across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66515-7: 4-1\/2 inch length. This size suits compact mounting areas where a lower footprint matters, such as smaller gunwales or tight deck sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66517-7: 6 inch length. This length gives more line contact area while still fitting many narrow gunwale installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66519-1: 8 inch length. This option is a practical match for larger deck layouts where dock lines need a longer cleat body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66538-1: 10 inch length. This is the largest listed size for applications that need the longest cleat in the range and have the deck space to support it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation uses a two-hole mounting pattern made with an appropriate hole saw. Before cutting, check that the mounting area has enough flat surface, underside access, backing support, and depth for the retracted cleat body and drainage parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the drainage receptacles sit below the cleat, the underside of the deck or gunwale should allow space for the receptacles and a clean tubing path toward the bilge. Any installation that will see dock-line loads should be backed properly for the boat structure and expected use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cleat is a good fit for boat owners who want usable tie-off points without leaving fixed hardware exposed all the time. It works especially well around boarding areas, fishing decks, narrow side decks, and gunwales where people move, handle lines, or step across the hardware regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttwood Marine Neat Cleat assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrainage receptacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Attwood Marine","offers":[{"title":"4-1\/2\"","offer_id":52581902909621,"sku":"QBP726407-V1","price":98.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\"","offer_id":52581902942389,"sku":"QBP726407-V2","price":98.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\"","offer_id":52581902975157,"sku":"QBP726407-V3","price":152.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10\"","offer_id":52581903007925,"sku":"QBP726407-V4","price":278.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1332948_qbp726407.jpg?v=1780201443","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp726407","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
