designed and are intended to be used as mooring
cleats. Their purpose is for securing the vessel to
a dock, pier, mooring, or anchor. Use of fenders is
highly recommended when mooring to a dock. Also
be sure to tie off at both the bow and at the stern. Be
certain that a clear lead exists when running dock
lines or an anchor line. A line inadvertently threaded
around a stanchion or around a grab handle could
cause damage.
A pull-up style cleat is available for the Scarab mod-
els. If equipped, the pull-up cleat gives the boat a
sleek style. When you desire to use the cleat, simply

in and the cleat will remain in its retracted position until
the next time you desire to use it. See Figures C2 and
C3.

cleats that are in stalled on the boat are not to
