The cable and all fittings are built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. It includes a 1-3\/8 inch stainless steel ring and a self-tapping screw for mounting to the deck fill housing, with a 7 inch cable length connecting the ring to the cap. This retaining cable is compatible with both gasoline and diesel deck fills, making it a straightforward add-on or replacement part for boat owners maintaining their fuel fill hardware. Because the cap is tethered directly to the deck plate, it stays within reach and cannot roll away or fall into the water during refueling, a common annoyance and safety hazard on deck fills that lack this hardware. Installation is simple: the ring is fastened to the deck plate opening with the included self-tapping screw, and the cable attaches to the cap. This part is sold as a standalone accessory for boat owners who need to replace a worn, broken, or missing retaining cable on an existing Perko deck fill.\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 0537DP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-tapping screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Type Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel, Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75 x 3 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226048081\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Perko 0537DP used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0537DP is a retaining cable that tethers a fuel deck fill cap to its deck plate so the cap cannot be dropped or lost overboard while fueling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the cable length on the 0537DP retaining cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0537DP has a 7 inch cable connecting the mounting ring to the deck fill cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 0537DP compatible with both gas and diesel deck fills?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Perko 0537DP retaining cable is compatible with both gasoline and diesel fuel deck fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 0537DP made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is constructed of stainless steel, including the cable, ring, and fittings, for corrosion resistance in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the mounting ring on the 0537DP?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0537DP includes a 1-3\/8 inch stainless steel mounting ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hardware is included for installing the 0537DP?\u003c\/strong\u003e A self-tapping screw is included with the Perko 0537DP to fasten the stainless steel ring to the deck plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 0537DP retaining cable weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0537DP weighs 0.05 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 0537DP include the deck fill cap or deck plate itself?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Perko 0537DP is the retaining cable and mounting hardware only; it does not include the deck fill cap or deck plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the overall dimensions of the 0537DP package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0537DP measures 5.75 x 3 x 1 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace this retaining cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e A retaining cable like the Perko 0537DP is typically replaced when the original cable has corroded, broken, or gone missing, leaving the deck fill cap untethered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991104696539,"sku":"PKO-537DP","price":8.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/PKO-537DP_lg__43207.1558117860.500.750.jpg?v=1785188539","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/perko-0537dp-stainless-steel-retaining-cable-for-fuel-deck-fills-and-deck-plates-7-safety-cord","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
