Does anyone make retractable cleats that don't require a through the hull water drain?

ACCON SLIM LINE CLEATS DO NOT REQUIRE THE DRAIN OR CUP. ACCON POP UP AND PULL UP CLEATS ITS AN OPTION.

This is how my hull and deck are joined. Just toss it on there and sink some wood screws in it? Seriously?

Wirelooms? Nah, duct tape is just fine!

These were holding the cabin "bulkhead" in place. I put that in quotes because i'm not sure it qualifies as one not being affixed to the hull.

The screws are from the rubrail I'm guessing and I can see several rivets holding that topdeck together
