Replacement for pop up cleats and door jam.
 
Does anyone know what type of spring loaded pop up cleats were used in my 2008 35' Fountain Lightning? A couple are bent and no longer pop out. They've been straightened and lubricated a few times but I need something new. I'd just as soon get a pull up cleat that would fit, if anybody knows what would work with the existing holes.

While I'm at it, my cabin door lock actually ripped out of the door, so a screw no longer holds. Epoxy doesn't hold the latch on the door very well and breaks loose while running. It would make sense to hold the door open while running so it doesn't repetitively slam. What's the best way to do that and if possible tell me which fitting to purchase.

Thanks-

This is probably it.

My 07 uses Accon slimline 8" cleats.

They look like better cleats but cost more. 165$ vs 90$. But if you're rafted up and get hit with a boat wake, mine bend and no longer pop back up. They also are a slightly different size and shape.

There is a little flip catch that screws into the floor, and flips over the track of your door. It holds it open for running. I did a quick search, but can't find it.

I have had Accon on both Velocitys, great products and strong.

Found a picture of one, used in a different fashion. But you get the idea. You screw this into the floor, right at the point where having it flipped over your door track, will keep your door pinned into the open position.
