Recessed tie down points

I am thinking about fitting 4 recessed tie down points in front of the console on the new RIB and was wonderign if anyone new of a supplier.

So far all I could find is this...

Its the fourth item down. And I dont really know if they are up to the job or not.

Any ideas?

They're just handles for lifting hatches etc, very much doubt they could take any kind of stress. My boat had recessed tie down points, they just stayed full of manky green water all the time, they're gone now.

Never heard of tie down points on a boat
However, if you do a search on "pop up cleats" or " flush deck fittings"
you will find loads of them.
