Perko 0502 Boat Hook Spring Clamps, Stainless Steel

Overview

The Perko 0502 Spring Clamps is a stainless steel clamp set for holding boat hooks, poles, and similar round gear within reach on board. The range covers inside diameters from 5/8 inch to 1-3/4 inches, with projections from 1-1/2 inches to 2-1/4 inches depending on the size selected.

These clamps are useful anywhere a loose handle or pole needs a fixed storage point, such as a cockpit locker, cabin bulkhead, helm area, dock box, or utility space. The spring clamp format gives quick access without straps or threaded retainers, which is helpful when a boat hook needs to be grabbed quickly during docking or line handling.

Key features

• Stainless steel construction suits exposed marine hardware locations where moisture and salt air are common.
• Two size ranges cover smaller poles from 5/8 inch to 1-1/4 inches and larger poles from 1 inch to 1-3/4 inches.
• Projection options of 1-1/2 inches and 2-1/4 inches help match the clamp depth to the stored handle or tool.
• Clamp widths of 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch give a compact mounting footprint on bulkheads, lockers, and panels.
• Made for simple surface mounting with #6 screws, allowing installation in common onboard storage areas.
• Sold as a pair, so one package can support a single boat hook or pole at two contact points.

Variants

This product is offered in two configurations for different pole and handle diameters.

The inside diameter range, projection, and clamp width vary by size. Both versions are stainless steel spring clamps and use #6 mounting screws.

• 0502DP1STS: fits 5/8 inch to 1-1/4 inches inside diameter, with 1-1/2 inches projection and 1/2 inch clamp width. This size fits smaller boat hooks, handles, and light onboard tools where a lower-profile clamp is preferred.
• 0502DP2STS: fits 1 inch to 1-3/4 inches inside diameter, with 2-1/4 inches projection and 5/8 inch clamp width. This size gives more clearance for larger handles or poles that need a deeper hold off the mounting surface.

Installation and fit

Check the outside diameter of the item being stored before selecting a size, then compare it with the listed inside diameter range. For a clean installation, mount the pair in line with the pole so the load is shared between both clamps and the item can be removed without twisting against the mounting surface.

Use mounting hardware and backing appropriate for the surface, especially on thin panels, fiberglass liners, or areas that may see vibration underway. On exposed decks or cockpit areas, bedding the fasteners can help reduce water intrusion into the mounting surface.

Use on board

These clamps are a good match for boats that need tidy, fast-access storage for a boat hook, mop handle, deck brush, gaff, or similar round gear. They keep long items from rolling around in lockers and make it easier to keep docking tools in the same place every time.
