Unlike a fixed deck cleat that projects upward at all times, this flush-mount design recesses below the deck surface when not in use and is simply pulled up from its body when a line needs to be secured. Recessing the cleat below deck level reduces the chance of a snagged line, a stubbed toe, or a tripping hazard on walkways, swim platforms, and other high-traffic areas of a boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is straightforward: the cleat body is countersunk into the mounting surface and the assembly includes a backing plate to reinforce the installation and spread the load across the mounting area. The simple mechanical design has few points of failure, which supports dependable, long-term operation in wet and corrosive conditions. The 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than standard 304-grade hardware, making it well suited to saltwater use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a countersunk flush cleat (as distinct from the stud-mount version), sized at 4-1\/2 inches. It is intended as a direct, drop-in replacement or new installation wherever a flush-mount deck cleat of this size and mounting style is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e attwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66510-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flush Cleat - Counter Sunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Countersunk, flush mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhanced 316 Stainless Steel Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backing plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6138 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 022697665102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Attwood 66510-7 flush cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 66510-7 is a 4-1\/2 inch flush cleat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cleat surface-mount or flush-mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 66510-7 is a countersunk, flush-mount cleat that recesses below the deck surface rather than sitting on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a flush cleat like this one operate?\u003c\/strong\u003e You simply pull the cleat up out of its recessed body to use it, then push it back down flush with the deck when the line is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Attwood 66510-7 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from enhanced 316 stainless steel alloy, a grade chosen for corrosion resistance in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 66510-7 come with a backing plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Attwood 66510-7 flush cleat includes a backing plate for the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a flush cleat over a standard deck cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because it recesses below the deck when not in use, the 66510-7 reduces the risk of snagged lines and tripping hazards compared with a cleat that stands upright at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the countersunk or stud-mount version of the cleat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 66510-7 is the countersunk version; a separate stud-mount version is offered under a different part number, so check your mounting style before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Attwood 66510-7?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Attwood 4-1\/2 inch flush cleat, model 66510-7, is 022697665102.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Attwood 66510-7 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 66510-7 flush cleat weighs 1.6138 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill 316 stainless steel resist corrosion in saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e 316 stainless steel, used in the 66510-7 construction, offers better corrosion resistance than standard 304-grade stainless in saltwater conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Attwood 66510-7?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 66510-7 flush cleat ships with the cleat body and a backing plate for mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989672800475,"sku":"ATT-66510-7","price":80.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51y0LytAfeL.jpg?v=1784487001","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/attwood-66510-7-flush-cleat-4-1-2-counter-sunk-316-stainless-steel-with-backing-plate","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
