While many boat owners appreciate the benefits of using proper line chocks, many resist installing them, especially on smaller vessels with limited deck space. Innovative 502 series Surface Mount Folding Chocks from Accon Marine provide line control convenience in a compact design that folds flat when not in use. This helps reduce deck clutter and tripping hazards.

Made from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, Accon 502 series chocks pull up when needed and push flat when not in use, preserving a vessel's smooth lines. Their convenient surface-mount design eliminates the need for cut-outs, with installation requiring only three stainless steel screws.

Sold in pairs, 502 series Surface Mount Folding Chocks are offered in two sizes to suit a wide range of watercraft. Model 502-4 measures 114mm L x 61mm W and accommodates lines to 16mm. For larger boats, the 502-6 measures 152mm L x 81mm W, handling up to 19mm lines. Both come in packages comprised of one port and one starboard chock.
