The Apex Retract is the ultimate solution for high-end vessels where aesthetics and safety are the priority. It combines our patent-pending magnetic gear-lock technology with a gravity-weighted pedestal that stays out of the way until you need it.
When the cushion is off, the mount sits just 2mm above the deck. When the cushion is near, the Apex Retract reaches up to meet it.
Why Choose the Apex Retract?
Patent-Pending Gear-Lock: We’ve moved beyond basic magnets. Our unique Hirth-style radial teeth provide a mechanical "interlock" that prevents sliding or shifting in heavy seas.
Ultra-Flush 2mm Disengaged Profile: When your cushions are stored, the pedestal retracts to a nearly flat 2mm profile. It’s the most foot-friendly, snag-free hardware ever designed for a boat deck.
"Active" Engagement: Upon magnetic contact, the pedestal rises, fully seating the interlocking teeth into the mating cap for a rock-solid connection.
Self-Rising Technology: The 20lb Neodymium magnetic core overcomes gravity, lifting the internal pedestal for an automatic, "no-look" connection.
Self-Clearing Port: The pass-through housing ensures that salt spray, sand, and debris fall through the unit rather than jamming the mechanism.
Installation & Specs
The Cut: Requires a standard 1.5" hole for the main housing.
The Fasteners: Secured with two #8 316 Stainless Steel screws (Included with every kit).
