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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0502DP1STS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Inside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Inside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold in pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226023095\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size pole or boat hook fits the Perko 0502DP1STS spring clamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0502DP1STS spring clamp pair holds items with an outside diameter between 5\/8 inch and 1-1\/4 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 0502DP1STS sold as a single clamp or a pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 0502DP1STS is sold in pairs, which is the standard way to secure a boat hook or pole at two points along its length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Perko 0502DP1STS spring clamp made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion in wet, salty marine environments better than plated steel hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far does the clamp project once mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 0502DP1STS has a projection of 1-1\/2 inch from the mounting surface once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the clamp width of the 0502DP1STS?\u003c\/strong\u003e The clamp width is 1\/2 inch, measured across the mounting base of each Perko spring clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does a pair of Perko 0502DP1STS clamps weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e A pair of Perko 0502DP1STS spring clamps weighs 0.09 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 0502DP1STS and the 0502DP2STS?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 0502DP1STS accommodates a 5\/8 inch to 1-1\/4 inch diameter, while the 0502DP2STS is a separate part number sized for a 1 inch to 1-3\/4 inch diameter, so it fits larger poles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to drill holes to install the 0502DP1STS?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0502DP1STS spring clamp is pre-drilled, so it only needs mounting screws through the existing holes to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 0502DP1STS typically used for on a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is commonly used to hold and store boat hooks, paddles, and other poles securely in place aboard a boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many clamps are needed to mount one boat hook?\u003c\/strong\u003e Two clamps from a 0502DP1STS pair are typically mounted a set distance apart so both ends of the pole are held in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Perko 0502DP1STS genuine Perko hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 0502DP1STS is a genuine Perko part, identified by Perko part number 0502DP1STS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991104172251,"sku":"PKO-502DP1STS","price":11.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/PKO-502DP1STS_lg__80341.1558117680.500.750.jpg?v=1785188001","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/perko-0502dp1sts-stainless-steel-spring-clamps-5-8-to-1-1-4-boat-hook-pole-holder-pair","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
