Pop-up Cleates

Warthog
If you have the time Eba is the way to go. If you want to buy them at a fair price, Log into Ebay and do a search on Accon. There is a great company in Fla. that is a boat builder and buys directly from Accon and resells at a fair price. They have a ton of cleats normally for sale. I bought pop up bow chocks and cleats from them and even had a problem that was worked by them to my satisfaction. Hope this helps. Rich

You guy's that have put pop ups cleates on your boat. What size did you use? 6in or 8in units?

I have two 6" cleats as shown below.


If I used a single cleat in the middle of the deck, I'd have gone with an 8"

[warthog5]

After much reserch I bought 3- of the 8in units @ $96.05
This was $1.05 more than on Ebay. I would have to pay Fl. sales tax on the ones on Ebay + shipping.
So I bought them local thru Brown's Marine and saved the shipping cost.
Thanks for the help. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have a pull-up Accon cleat that I'd let go for $50 (I went with the 6" instead on the 20' redo).

Any of you guys wreck fish/ wreck anchor and use the cleat to break it loose??? I would like to get a couple myself , I actually have 3 on my foredeck, with the middle one tied into the bow ring???Any thoughts???craig [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Craig … They do make a model that ties into the bow eye


I too would like to hear about anyone’s experience with the durability factor . I have been on some boats where these pull up / pop up cleats seem to have a lot of play in them...

I'm keeping the hawse pipes and fixed cleats in the stern... was thinking of replacing the other fixed cleats with two 8" bow and maybe even spring pop-ups (although I like the idea of hawse pipes and cleats for the springs also).

OK then ....
Well after going to the Accon site I may just do the Hawse pipes .... Sugg.Retail on 4 - 8" popups $444.00
Maybe I'll replace my popup bow light with the motorized version ..Only $ 690 and change !!!!!

What model SC do you have ? I just attempted to mount new 6" pop ups on my 85' 23'CC and cannot get close to the smooth cut out due to the depth of the cleat and interference with the liner.

How did you get the cleats so close to the outer edge?

I have the Master Angler. The difference between that and the sf for that period is the "thicker" gunwale cap. On many models, the gunwale is even with the rub rail. Mine is raised from 2" to about 5" n the stern, giving much appreciated extra freeboard when bouncing through the rips.

I got the Accon 8in Pop Up cleates today.



Backing plate comes with them. It's also used for a cutout pattern.












Here's the core cutout. Top glass is aprox 3/8in. Bottom glass is aprox 1/4in. The core is 3/4in Kledgecell.


I didn't put any hatch's in the transom top cap panel. It will be busy enough with rod holders and Downriggers.
