Hazard-Free Retractable Chocks
01 May 2002
With all of the hardware needed on a vessel, it is difficult to keep the deck clutter free.
To alleviate this problem, Accon Marine of Florida USA now offers two sizes of pull-up chocks that fold down flush when not in use to eliminate tripping hazards.
The chocks are more aesthetically pleasing than standard bolt-on chocks and are stylistically similar to Accon's retractable cleats. The chocks are made of marine grade 316 stainless steel and have a 1.71cm line maximum. Skene or straight stern chocks are available for mounting preferences in 10cm and 15cm sizes.
The tension can be either increased or decreased via two set screws. Additionally, the chocks can be sealed to prevent water from leaking through the deck with a plug or drain fitting to run the water to a bilge or thru-hull fitting.
