Whitecap Marine Cleats: Hollow Base, Pull-Up & Folding Size Guide
Boat cleats can share a nominal six-inch size while using completely different deck mounts. A conventional hollow-base cleat stays above the deck, a pull-up cleat retracts into its fitted housing, and a folding cleat lies down when it is not needed. This guide compares Whitecap cleats already listed in our store so you can measure the mounting footprint, clearance and line size before selecting a replacement.
Choose the correct cleat construction
Fixed open or hollow baseThese are permanently raised cleats. Check the full base, deck structure and fastener arrangement rather than measuring the horns alone.
Recessed pull-upA pull-up cleat requires suitable space below the deck for studs and drain tubes. Whitecap's 6704 and 6709 families have different stud centres and rope limits.
Top-mounted foldingFolding cleats lie low on the deck when closed and are intended for top-mount applications with limited space below. Match their two fastener locations.
Nominal length is not overall length. Whitecap 6704CBLUE has a 4½-inch working cleat but a 5⅛-inch overall body. Whitecap 6709CBLUE has a 6-inch working cleat and 6¾-inch overall length. The longer model does not use the same stud centres.
Whitecap cleat sizes, mounting and part numbers
The listed dimensions refer to each exact manufacturer model. For a replacement, compare the existing installation holes, deck thickness and below-deck access before relying on a length match.

For the 6704 pull-up family, Whitecap specifies 3⅞-inch stud spacing and a maximum ⅝-inch line. For the larger 6709 family, stud spacing is 5 inches and the maximum listed line diameter is ⅞ inch. These are different dimensions even though both use a recessed mounting style.

Frequently asked cleat questions
Can a 6-inch pull-up cleat replace a 6-inch hollow-base cleat?
Not directly. The recessed pull-up design has studs and drain tubes below the mounting surface, whereas a fixed hollow-base cleat uses a different mounting pattern. Match the existing deck and hardware before considering an alternative.
What is the fastener spacing on Whitecap 6744C and 6746C?
The 6744C folding cleat has mounting centres 2⅝ inches apart. The longer 6746C uses 3-inch spacing. Both families specify two ¼-inch fastener positions, but the bolt spacing is different.
Does the total cleat length tell me which dock line fits?
No. Line diameter must be checked independently. Whitecap specifies up to ⅝-inch line for its 6704 pull-up family and up to ⅞-inch for its 6709 family. The cleat must also be installed on a suitable load-bearing deck structure.
Can stainless and galvanized cleats use identical mounting holes?
Do not assume so. The open-base S-1521P is a galvanized-steel design, while 6009C and 6010C are stainless hollow-base models. Match bolt pattern, support and required fasteners for the exact model.

Inspect the deck backing and fastening arrangement before installing mooring hardware. A product length alone does not establish its load rating or suitability for a specific vessel.
