[I get press releases for all kinds of doodads and fittings. Here's one that could be just the thing when you need a low-profile hardpoint installed flush with the surface of a bulkhead or deck. But I'm just a little bit confused about how it's installed. Read on... —Tim]
When riding the waves, it’s important to keep everyone aboard safe and all equipment in the boat. With Accon Marine’s 195 Large and 196 Small Tie Downs, all loose gear can be secured to the deck.
Great for poling platforms, scuba gear and fenders, these Tie Downs can be used anywhere equipment needs to stay in place. The Large version measures 3.5″ L x 3.5″ W x 1.25″ D and is also ideal for docks. Suited for use on personal watercraft, the Small model is 2″ L x 2″ W x 1″ D.
Constructed from stainless steel, the Tie Down’s assembly consists of the main body and sealing cup. Installation is simple and only requires owners to drill a single hole and fasten the Tie Down with four screws. The 195 model needs a 2-1/2″ hole, while the small 196 model requires a 1-1/2″ hole.
[Hold on a minute: A single hole? Don't they mean one big whole and four small ones? And I want to know more about the "sealing cup"; I'm going to bed this with my beloved polysulfide anyway, right? I better check with the manufacturer. —Tim]
Accon Marine’s 195 Large Tie Down has a retail price of $40.71, while the 196 Small Tie Down is priced at $17.92.
