Overview

The Perko 0757DP0CHR is a rope deck pipe with a chrome-plated zinc alloy body, a hinged snap-down cover, and a 3-3/8" flange sized for rope up to 1". It gives line a clean pass-through point on deck while keeping the opening covered when the line is not in use.

This type of fitting is commonly used where rope needs to feed into a locker or storage space below deck. Before ordering, check the line diameter, the deck area available for the 3-3/8" flange, and the fastening layout for #8 screws.

Key features

• Chrome-plated zinc alloy construction
• Hinged, snap-down cover closes over the opening when the line is stowed
• Handles rope up to 1" in diameter
• 3-3/8" flange outer diameter for deck mounting
• Uses #8 mounting screws

Installation and fit

Fit matters most with deck hardware like this. Make sure the rope can pass through the opening without crowding, and confirm there is enough clearance for the cover to open fully in the chosen mounting spot.

It is a good match for boats that need a covered rope entry point above an anchor locker, line locker, or other below-deck stowage area. The hinged cover also helps keep the deck opening neater when the line is not being used.

Maintenance and care

On saltwater boats, regular rinsing helps keep the plated finish cleaner and reduces salt buildup around the hinge. It also helps to check the cover movement and the mounting screws during routine deck hardware inspections so the fitting keeps closing properly and the rope continues to pass through cleanly.
