Perko 1249DP0CHR Boat Cover Socket, Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy, Pack of 5
Perko 1249DP0CHR Boat Cover Socket, Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy, Pack of 5
The Perko 1249DP0CHR Boat Cover Socket is a deck hardware fitting used to anchor boat cover battens in place, keeping the cover taut and secure while underway or at rest. It is die cast from zinc alloy and finished in chrome plating for corrosion resistance in the marine environment. The socket is sized to accommodate 3/8 inch wood or polymer battens up to 1-3/4 inches long, making it a common fitting for factory and custom boat covers that use batten-style supports. Each socket measures 3-1/4 inches in length and 5/8 inch in width, with an opening of 1-7/8 inches by 7/16 inch to receive the batten end, and mounts using a #6 screw. This part is sold as a retail-carded pack of 5 sockets under part number 1249DP0CHR; Perko also offers this same socket in a bulk package under part number 1249000CHR for installers who need larger quantities. Weighing 0.1 pounds, the socket is compact and lightweight while still standing up to sun, salt, and repeated cover installation and removal. It is a straightforward, low-cost replacement part for boat owners maintaining or repairing cover mounting hardware, and its chrome finish matches other Perko deck and cabinet hardware.
