These retractable cleats install easily even in narrow gunwales.
Attwood's Neat Cleat is a stainless steel pop-up (or retractable) cleat with a thin profile so it installs easily even in narrow gunwales. Just drill two holes with an appropriate hole saw. Small amounts of water can enter the stanchions when the cleat is up. Drainage receptacles (included) press-fit onto the threaded studs to capture moisture and lead it to the bilge. The receptacle outlet is sized for standard 1/4" OD pilot tubing (sold separately).
