Perko 1223DP0CHR Skene Bow Chocks, Chrome Plated, 3-1/2 Inch, Sold in Pairs
The Perko 1223DP0CHR Skene Bow Chocks are a matched pair of deck hardware fittings designed to guide and secure mooring or dock lines as they run over the edge of a boat's deck or bow. Each chock is built from zinc alloy with a chrome plated finish, giving it a bright, corrosion-resistant surface that holds up to marine exposure while blending in with other polished deck hardware. The smooth, curved horn shape reduces chafing and wear on rope as the boat shifts at the dock or mooring, helping lines last longer and run more smoothly under load. This chock is sized for rope up to 1/2 inch in diameter, with an overall length of 3-1/2 inches and a width of 7/8 inch, making it a compact fit for smaller cleats, bow rails, and gunwale mounting points. It mounts with #8 screws (sold separately), keeping installation straightforward with a drill and screwdriver. The Perko 1223DP0CHR is sold as a matched port and starboard pair, so a single order outfits both sides of the bow or deck with a consistent look and equal wear characteristics on each side.
