Overview

The Perko 1223DP0CHR is a pair of skene bow chocks for leading bow lines cleanly at the deck edge. The set includes a port and starboard chock in chrome-plated zinc alloy, with each chock measuring 3-1/2" long and 7/8" wide and sized for lines up to 1/2".

This is the kind of hardware boat owners look for when they want a neat, fixed lead for dock or mooring lines at the bow without taking up much space on deck. The left and right layout suits a proper bow installation and keeps the look balanced on smaller cruisers, skiffs, runabouts, and sailboats that use lighter line sizes.

Key features

• Port and starboard pair for a matched bow installation
• Chrome-plated zinc alloy construction
• Fits rope up to 1/2" in diameter
• 3-1/2" overall length and 7/8" width for a compact footprint
• Uses #8 mounting screws

Installation and fit

These chocks work best where you need a compact fairlead near the bow and the line lead runs cleanly back to a cleat or bitt. Before drilling, it is worth checking the deck edge, backing, and line angle so the rope passes through the chock without rubbing the rail or gelcoat.

The 1/2" line limit is an important fit point. It makes this pair a better match for boats using smaller dock and mooring lines rather than heavier setups that need larger deck hardware.

Use on board

This pair is a sensible match for replacing worn bow chocks on an older boat or adding a clean bow lead on a compact vessel. It suits owners who want straightforward hardware for everyday docking and mooring, with dimensions that are easy to work into a tighter bow area.
