Perko Spring Clamp Pair 0502DP1STS, 5/8 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Projection, Stainless Steel

The Perko 0502DP1STS is a stainless steel spring clamp pair used to hold and store boat hooks, poles, and similar items aboard a boat. Each clamp opens to accept items with an outside diameter between 5/8 inch and 1-1/4 inch, then springs closed to grip and secure the item in place. The clamp has a 1-1/2 inch projection and a 1/2 inch clamp width, and is pre-drilled for mounting with screws. Sold as a matched pair, the two clamps are typically mounted a set distance apart to cradle the full length of a boat hook, paddle, or similar pole so it stays put in rough water instead of rolling or sliding loose in a rod locker or along a bulkhead. Because the clamps are stainless steel, they resist corrosion in the marine environment better than painted or plated steel hardware, making them suited to long-term exposure on deck, in a cockpit, or belowdecks. Installation is straightforward: mount both clamps to a flat surface with the included screw holes, then snap the pole or hook into the open jaws. Perko also offers a larger version, the 0502DP2STS, for poles with a larger diameter, so buyers should confirm the diameter of the item being stored before ordering.
