Sounds good.
I want 6 complete units, 3 per side.
One at the rear, one in the middle of the boat around the helm area and a third up front. since I have a cat the bow does come into play when tying up with larger boats.
I also would want to get 2, if not 4, extra plugs-ins since i have the square rafting cushions as well.
Hell, I think I just answered my own question. I am talking over $600 to do this The Mushrooms would only be $150

i am converting all my cleats to the quick release style, they are some beefing units..... 1" SS thru-hull fitting and a solid chunk of SS that stays with your line or fender all the time.... just pop and go.. and when removed just look like a thru-hull fitting perfectly flush...

i think too old had a sale on those mushroom style ones, all the ones i have seen are junk after some serious use.... just my .02

Are the quick cleats made to hold a line, and not just a fender?

Sean H

they can do either... bascially a removable cleat that already has the line tied to it... just pop it in and go.

I just ordered the quick cleats. they seem to have a cleaner look to me. call Fred at trickmarine.net .....he will give you a better price!!

I'm putting some quick cleats about 5' forward of the helm on my Sonic. There's not much to hang on to up there and the quick cleats are a one hand operation. The mushroom type looks like it takes two hands.

Lucy's merc special has the quick cleats. I thought they were slick.

Go for the Mushrooms. They work great and look better anyhow. With the Quick-Cleats, you have a solid metal object flying around on the end of your dock like WAITING to create damage when you least expect it, and when you loan out a fender, its still on there.

I could probably break them both. I was looking at the little loop off of the quickcleat. Looks breakable.
