It is sized for 1 inch through 1-1\/2 inch deck plates and features a 1 inch spade tip on the handle end, which lets the same key operate many other slot-type opening deck plates beyond Perko's own line. The key measures 3-3\/8 inches overall, a compact size that stows easily in a dock box, glove box, or tool bag so it is on hand whenever a fill cap needs to be removed for fueling, pumping out a holding tank, or checking a water fill. Construction is a durable plastic and zinc build with a painted finish, giving the key enough rigidity to turn a snug-fitting deck plate without stripping the slot. Because deck plate keys are a low-cost, frequently misplaced item, many boat owners keep a spare aboard. Perko recommends checking manufacturer fitment before use to confirm the key matches the specific deck plate style installed on a given boat.\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 12487-8DP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Plastic Deck Plate Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas Caps \u0026amp; Deck Fills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic, Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Spade Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Deck Plate Size Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch to 1-1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226037139\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Perko deck plates sized 1 inch through 1-1\/2 inch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 1 inch spade on the handle also fits many other slot-type opening deck plates from other manufacturers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck manufacturer recommendations to confirm proper fit before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat deck plate sizes does the Perko 12487-8DP key fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 12487-8DP Deck Plate Key is sized for deck plates ranging from 1 inch through 1-1\/2 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this key work on deck plates from other brands?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 1 inch spade on the handle of the 12487-8DP is designed to fit many other slot-type opening deck plates in addition to Perko's own fittings, though checking manufacturer recommendations first is advised to confirm proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Perko 12487-8DP deck plate key?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 3-3\/8 inches overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the deck plate key weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 12487-8DP weighs 0.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the deck plate key made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 12487-8DP is built from plastic and zinc with a painted black finish, giving it enough rigidity to turn a snug deck plate fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a manual or powered tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a manual, hand-operated key with a flat head style used to turn deck plate caps by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of fill fittings is this key used with?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 12487-8DP is used on gas, diesel, water, and waste deck fill fittings that use a slot-type opening deck plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package includes one Perko 12487-8DP Deck Plate Key; deck plate caps and O-rings are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 12487-8DP a genuine Perko part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 12487-8DP is a Perko-manufactured deck plate key, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this key if I do not know my deck plate's exact opening style?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because the 1 inch spade handle fits many slot-type deck plates, the 12487-8DP will work on a range of openings, but checking manufacturer recommendations beforehand is the best way to ensure proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991121047771,"sku":"PKO-124878DP","price":5.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/PKO-124878DP_lg__46265.1558118141.500.750.jpg?v=1785189220","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/perko-12487-8dp-deck-plate-key-for-1-to-1-1-2-deck-plates-black","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
