Apex Stealth

Apex Stealth | The Streamlined Cushion Conversion

Ultra-Low Profile. 8-Point Tactical Alignment.

Traditional metal snaps are eyesores that seize, corrode, and rip your expensive upholstery. The Apex Stealth by HoldFast Marine was engineered specifically for the boater who wants a magnetic solution without the bulk.

At just 8mm off the deck and 27mm across, the Stealth is our most discreet no-drill mount. It’s designed to "disappear" into your boat's lines, providing a barefoot-friendly, factory-clean look the moment your cushions are removed.

Stealth vs. Apex Lineup: Streamlined for Style

Every boat is a balance between maximum mechanical retention and clean aesthetics. We designed the HoldFast Marine ecosystem to let you choose the right tool for the job:

• The Apex Lite/Retract (37mm): Our "High-Hold" workhorses. Featuring a larger footprint and our signature Hirth-Tooth Gear Lock, these are engineered for maximum sheer prevention and heavy-duty applications. When you need our most aggressive mechanical connection for high-wind, go with the 37mm Apex line.
• The Apex Stealth (27mm): The Ultra-Streamlined option. Built for those who want the smallest footprint possible. By trading the larger gear-lock for a compact 8mm deck height and a solid Ramped Block Alignment system, the Stealth provides a sophisticated, "invisible" snap for your seating and upholstery.

Why the Stealth is the Choice for Upholstery:

• Ultra-Low Profile: Standing only 8mm off the deck when the cushion is removed, the Stealth is virtually flush. No bulky hardware to stub toes, snag fishing lines, or ruin the sleek look of your fiberglass.
• The "Blind-Snap" Alignment: Stop fumbling for hidden snaps under heavy cushions. Our ramped block alignment uses an 4-point magnetic connection to "grab" the cushion and pull it into a perfect, centered lock the moment it gets close.
• 8-Magnet "Anti-Skate" Tech: To prevent cushions from shifting when guests slide on or off, the Stealth uses 8 synchronized magnetic points. This creates rotational stability, keeping your upholstery exactly where it belongs.
• Preserve Your Vinyl: Traditional metal snaps require a "pry" motion that stresses the fabric. The Stealth releases with a smooth, vertical pull, preventing the common "snap-rip" that leads to thousand-dollar upholstery repairs.
• Marine-Grade ASA: No metal to green up and no cheap plastic to yellow. Our UV-stabilized ASA polymer handles the sun and salt spray without fading or seizing.
