Extreme Max Folding Stainless Steel Cleats, 4-1/2", 4-Pack — 316 Marine Stainless, Low-Profile Flush Fold

Extreme Max 3006.6631.4 is a 4-1/2" folding cleat set made from 316 stainless steel that folds flush when not in use and includes mounting hardware for easy deck installation. The Extreme Max folding cleat is designed to deliver a low-profile, corrosion-resistant mooring point for boats, docks, and gunwales where space is limited. Built from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, each 4-1/2" cleat folds down to a recessed height of 1/2" to reduce trip hazards and interference with fishing or walking areas. When deployed it provides a secure, 1-1/2" raised head and accepts line diameters up to 1/2". This 4-pack is aimed at replacing common OEM folding cleats or upgrading tight-depth locations that can't take bulkier pop-up styles.

How does this cleat save deck space and reduce snagging?

The folding design lets the cleat sit nearly flush with the deck when not in use, minimizing obstructions that can catch feet, gear, or fishing lines. Its recessed height is just 1/2", keeping the deck surface clear without sacrificing holding power when needed.

• Flush folded height: 1/2" to avoid trip hazards
• Deployed height: 1-1/2" for reliable line security
• Compact overall length and width for tight gunwale spots

What makes the 316 stainless construction suitable for marine environments?

316 stainless steel offers strong resistance to saltwater corrosion and pitting compared with softer alloys. The material provides long-term durability on exposed decks and stands up to repeated loading from docking and mooring without bending or seizing.

• 316 grade resists saltwater corrosion and rust
• Solid metal construction for dependable strength
• Finished surfaces reduce sticking and ease folding action

Will this cleat fit my boat and mounting needs?

Dimensions and bolt spacing are provided so you can confirm fit before installation. The cleat’s overall body length is 4-9/16" with 3-11/16" center-to-center bolt spacing and a width of 1-9/16", matching many OEM folding cleat footprints.

• Overall body length: 4-9/16" and width: 1-9/16"
• Bolt hole spacing: 3-11/16" (center-to-center)
• Included mounting hardware simplifies replacement or retrofit

How much line can it handle and how is it installed?

This cleat is sized for common small-boat lines and accepts rope up to 1/2" in diameter. Installation is straightforward: align mounting holes, through-bolt using the supplied hardware, and torque to recommended specifications for your deck material.

• Accepts ropes up to 1/2" diameter
• All necessary mounting hardware included in the 4-pack
• Designed for through-bolt installation into decks or gunwales

Who is this for: Boaters, marina technicians, and DIY boat owners who need a compact, durable cleat for limited-depth locations or OEM replacements will find this Extreme Max folding cleat practical. It suits small to medium recreational craft, fishing boats, and any application where a low-profile mooring point and corrosion resistance are priorities. If you want a direct OEM-style replacement or a tidy, reliable deck cleat that folds away when not in use, this 4-pack gives a consistent finish and all fasteners necessary for multiple installations.
