Racewill 6" Folding Boat Cleats 4-Pack — 316 Stainless Steel, Polished Low-Profile Dock Cleats

Racewill 4-pack 6-inch folding cleats are corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel dock cleats that flip up for mooring and fold flat for a safe, low-profile deck.

These folding boat cleats are designed for marine use where saltwater resistance, a tidy deck, and reliable line control matter. Each cleat measures 6" long with a polished finish and includes backing plates plus two bolt types so you can mount them on yachts, kayaks, ski boats or dock surfaces without hunting for extra hardware.

How does the folding design improve deck safety and storage?

The flip-up mechanism lets you present a full cleat only when you need it, then fold it flush to the deck to eliminate tripping hazards and keep lines from snagging. The cleat retracts to a low profile of 0.53" when folded and rises to 1.75" when in use.

• Folds flat to 0.53" to reduce snagging and tripping.
• Quick flip-up deployment for fast mooring or release.
• Smooth edges polish-protected to avoid chafing lines.

Are these cleats durable enough for saltwater environments?

Yes—the cleats and all supplied screws are made from 316 stainless steel, a grade chosen for superior resistance to corrosion and wear in marine settings. The polished finish further reduces surface roughness that can trap salt or accelerate corrosion.

• 316 stainless construction for enhanced rust resistance.
• Polished surface to limit line abrasion and surface corrosion.
• Back plates included to distribute load and prevent pull-through.

What comes in the package and how do I install them?

The kit contains four 6" folding cleats, four backing plates, and two styles of fasteners so you have mounting options for different deck thicknesses. Installation requires marking hole centers (3.4" apart), drilling, then securing cleats with the included bolts and plates; sealant is recommended for watertight mounting.

• Total length 6", width 2.1", bolt spacing 3.4" center-to-center.
• Includes backing plates and two types of bolts/screws for flexibility.
• Use marine-grade sealant and proper torque to secure fasteners.

Which boats and applications suit these cleats best?

These cleats are sized and specified for small to mid-size vessels and deck installations where a low profile is preferred. They work well on yachts, runabouts, kayaks with reinforced mounting points, ski boats, and docks where tidy appearance and reduced trip hazards matter.

• Commonly used on yachts, ski boats, docks, and reinforced kayak decks.
• Good for bow, stern, or cockpit tie-down duties where moderate loads apply.
• Not intended as primary heavy-duty warping cleats for large commercial vessels.

Who is this for: Marine owners, deck builders, and DIY boaters who want compact, corrosion-resistant cleats that stay out of the way when not needed. If you need reliable 316 stainless hardware with included backing plates and multiple fastener options for neat, low-profile mooring, this 4-pack provides the parts and specifications to mount cleats quickly and keep lines protected.
