Overview

The Perko 1242DP0CHR is a chrome-plated zinc alloy eye strap with a 5/16 in inside eye, a 1-7/8 in overall length, and mounting for #8 screws. It is a small fixed anchor point for bimini hardware, covers, tie-down straps, and other light-duty attachments where you need a clean, low-profile loop on deck or trim.

This size works well when you are replacing a matching eye strap or setting up several attachment points around a cockpit, console, or cover frame. The chrome finish gives it a bright look, and the display pack format is useful when the job needs more than one strap in the same area.

Key features

• 5/16 in inside eye for straps, cord, and small attachment hardware that needs a compact fixed loop
• 1-7/8 in overall length keeps the footprint small where mounting space is limited
• Chrome-plated zinc alloy body with a finish that suits visible hardware locations
• Mounts with #8 screws, which helps when matching an existing strap during replacement work
• Sold as a display pack of 5 pieces for multi-point installs or keeping matching spares on board

Compatibility and fit

This eye strap is a good match when your existing setup calls for a 5/16 in inside eye and #8 screw mounting. It suits bimini and cover attachment points, light lashing points, and other spots where the load stays aligned with the strap rather than pulling hard from the side.

Before ordering, check the eye opening against the strap, hook, or line you plan to use, and confirm the mounting surface has enough room for the 1-7/8 in body length. It is also worth matching the finish to nearby hardware if the strap will be installed in a visible area.

Installation and setup

For the cleanest fit, mount the strap on a solid backing surface and use the correct #8 fasteners for the material underneath. On tops, covers, and similar hardware runs, place the strap so the pull stays centered through the eye instead of twisting the fitting.

This is a practical option for boaters replacing worn plated eye straps, refreshing cover hardware, or adding a few extra tie points around the cockpit or deck. In saltwater service, regular rinsing and inspection of the plated finish will help you catch wear before it becomes a problem.
