Perko Figure 1188 Open Base Cleat, Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy

Overview

The Perko Figure 1188 is an open base deck cleat made from chrome plated zinc alloy for tying off dock lines, fenders, tender lines, and light utility lines on board. It is offered in 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch overall lengths, with matching base dimensions and maximum rope sizes for each configuration.

The open base form gives line handlers a familiar horn cleat layout while keeping the deck hardware visually simple. The chrome finish suits runabouts, center consoles, cabin boats, and other installations where the cleat is exposed on deck, on a gunwale, or near a cockpit coaming.

Key features

• Open base cleat profile for common boat line handling tasks such as docking, fender placement, and securing light onboard gear.
• Chrome plated zinc alloy construction for a polished look on visible deck and cockpit hardware.
• Available in 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch lengths to match different line sizes and mounting locations.
• Variant-specific maximum rope sizes range from 5/16 inch to 5/8 inch, helping the cleat match the working line used on the vessel.
• Compact base footprints make the cleat suitable for areas where deck space is limited but a fixed tie-off point is still needed.

Variants

This product is offered in three length configurations within the same Perko Figure 1188 open base cleat range.

The overall length, base dimensions, and maximum rope size change by variant. The open base cleat style and chrome plated zinc alloy construction remain consistent across the listed configurations.

• 1188DP4CHR: 4 inch overall length, 2-1/8 inch x 1-1/2 inch base, and 5/16 inch maximum rope size. This size fits smaller tie-off points where a low footprint matters, such as fender lines or light dock lines on smaller boats.
• 1188DP6CHR: 6 inch overall length, 3 inch x 1-3/4 inch base, and 7/16 inch maximum rope size. This middle size gives more line capacity while still fitting many deck and cockpit mounting areas.
• 1188DP8CHR: 8 inch overall length, 4 inch x 2-1/8 inch base, and 5/8 inch maximum rope size. This larger cleat suits installations that use heavier line and have enough mounting area for the wider base.

Installation and fit

Before installation, compare the cleat length, base footprint, and maximum rope size with the line already used on the boat. The mounting surface should be flat and strong enough for the expected load, with suitable backing or reinforcement where the deck or gunwale material requires it.

Fasteners are not listed here as included, so hardware should be selected separately for the mounting surface and the marine environment. Bedding the fastener holes helps reduce water intrusion into the deck core or substrate.

Use cases on board

This cleat is a practical match for boat owners replacing worn deck hardware or adding a fixed tie-off point where a polished chrome look is preferred. The smaller length works well for lighter line tasks, while the larger sizes are better suited to heavier dock lines within the stated rope limits.
