Looking for Some Cleats
I need to do some repairs and refinish the deck of my 1994 26' Thoroughbred so I thought I'd like to update it a bit as well.
Does anybody know where I can get a decent deal on some pop-up cleats, perhaps used. I will need 5, probably 5" or 6", whatever is a standard size.
Also, the cabin is configured such that there is really no access to the bilge for a drain from the bow cleat. Do ya'll think it'll be a problem to close off the drain on a pop-up cleat and let whatever water that gets in there evaporate?
Thanks, John

John, would it be possible to run the drain from the bow cleat to a thru hull fitting on the bow, rather than down into the bilge? I've seen anchor lockers that have drains plumbed this way - something to think about, anyway.

I've got pop ups on my Baja and I wanted to add some so I found the same ones at the following place.

My Brother has pull up cleats on his boat and would rather have pop-up cleats....His stay up on their own, but sometimes they can be a pain to pull up...The pop ups open with just a push of the button....
