A cleat which has an extended operative position and a retracted position includes a securing portion and a base portion in the form of a housing which can receive the securing portion. The securing portion is shaped for securing thereto a line when the securing portion is in an extended position. When the securing portion is in a retracted position, the securing portion lay relatively flush with a surface of the boat. Detents are provided to hold the securing portion in the extended position until pressure is exerted on the securing portion to overcome the detents and transition the securing portion from the extended position to the retracted position.
