Default Pop-up cleats

The port stern cleat on my Fountain does not pop up. It pushes down like the rest but doesn't release. I swear I've tried it 100 times. All the rest of the cleats work fine. Anyone run into this issue? Were you able to get the cleat working again or did you have to replace it? If you had to replace it what was your source for the new part?

If its the spring loaded style cleats then maybe one of the springs broke and the other doesn't have enough umph to lift the cleat by itself....you'll have to pull it out and inspect....or it may be corrosion that's sticking it....spray it with some WD40 or some penetrating fluid and cycle it up/down a few times and see if it helps...

Tried the WD 40 and it did the trick. Thanks Wally.
