Abstract
A folding marine cleat can include a base and a cleat head having a detent spring member. The cleat head can be positionable with respect to the base in stowed and deployed positions by a four-bar linkage with first and second legs to transition the cleat head between deployed and stowed positions. The legs can include stowed and deployed flat portions positionable to selectively be in contact with and abutting the detent spring member to retain the cleat head in the stowed or deployed position. The base can include fastener retention slots with opposing opening surfaces and opposing retention surfaces being spaced apart at a distance to receive a square portion of a fastener therebetween to fix the fastener in axial rotation with respect to the cleat base, with the opposing opening surfaces being spaced apart at a distance narrower than a distance across the square portion of the fastener.
