Perko 1188DP6CHR 6 Inch Open Base Cleat, Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy

The Perko 1188DP6CHR is a 6 inch open base cleat built from chrome plated zinc alloy, designed for securing dock lines and mooring rope on boats and docks. The open base design allows lines to be looped and secured quickly, and the chrome plated finish resists corrosion in marine environments while giving a polished, durable appearance that matches other chrome hardware on deck. With an overall length of 6 inches and a base measuring 3 inches by 1-3/4 inches, this cleat is sized to handle rope up to 7/16 inch in diameter, making it suitable for mid-size boats and dock applications. The mounting holes are set 2.25 inches apart, center to center, and the cleat is fastened using number 10 screws. Constructed from solid zinc alloy rather than lightweight stamped metal, the 1188DP6CHR is built to withstand repeated line tension and outdoor exposure. This cleat is part of Perko's Fig. 1188 line of open base cleats, which is also available in 4 inch and 8 inch sizes for smaller or larger rope and mounting requirements. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a flat mounting surface and the appropriate screws for the mounting hole pattern.
