What is the purpose of the cleats on the deck in front of the cockpit?

m

The cleats were standard on most Mariner kayaks- used for the bow painter and also as paddle parks. You can read the details in the 'Owners Manual' in the pull-down menus at marinerkayaks.com .

The cleat recesses are created by the design of the deck - it 'rolls down' to create very functional thigh 'braces' which work at all positions of the sliding seat.
