It is offered in 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch overall lengths, with matching base dimensions and maximum rope sizes for each configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen base cleat profile for common boat line handling tasks such as docking, fender placement, and securing light onboard gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome plated zinc alloy construction for a polished look on visible deck and cockpit hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch lengths to match different line sizes and mounting locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariant-specific maximum rope sizes range from 5\/16 inch to 5\/8 inch, helping the cleat match the working line used on the vessel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact base footprints make the cleat suitable for areas where deck space is limited but a fixed tie-off point is still needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is offered in three length configurations within the same Perko Figure 1188 open base cleat range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1188DP4CHR: 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1188DP6CHR: 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1188DP8CHR: 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFasteners 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"4 Inch","offer_id":52581920342197,"sku":"QBP498204-V3","price":50.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch","offer_id":52581920374965,"sku":"QBP498204-V5","price":34.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Inch","offer_id":52581920407733,"sku":"QBP498204-V7","price":72.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1334634_qbp498204.webp?v=1780201547","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp498204","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
