Pop Up Cleats

DropTop5.0

Well-known member
I'm in search of some new cleats. Does anyone have any they like? I'm a little worried about them leaking. Any issues with that? I was going to add two new ones half way back to assist with mounting bumpers and more flexibility with tying off. :cheers:
 
I love mine, they come equipped with plastic drainage lines that drain to bilge. But I always to seem to leave at least one up somewhere thou ��
 
Swapped out the originals for pop us when the Liner was at the factory. I love mine. Much cleaner. Ski ropes don't snag on the corners anymore either. So I got that goin' for me...which is nice.
 
Yes they have a plastic cup and drain line to the bilge. I could not imagine having to cut them in though. They are an odd shape to cut in but could be done I guess.
 
installed them in my 251 years ago, used eddie marine ones, worked great just remember the drain pocket takes up some room, so make sure you are good there and have a way to run the drain, I used a small stainless thru hull drains that looked great and worked well
 
Ordered our 253 new in 1997
Didn't want bow rails or anything sticking out.
Even installed a flush mounted bow light.
It's so easy to wash and wax without anything in the way.
Haven't had any water get into the plastic cups or bilge.
I'm guessing they're Accon
