Perko 1186 Edge Mount Rowlock Socket, For 1227, 1262 or 1267 Rowlock Horns, 4 in x 7/8 in x 1-1/8 in, Zinc Alloy, Black Polymer Bearings, #10 Screws, 1 Pair

Overview

This Perko edge mount rowlock socket is a zinc alloy socket pair for mounting compatible rowlock horns on the edge of a small boat, dinghy, or tender. Each socket measures 4 inches long by 7/8 inch wide by 1-1/8 inches deep and uses #10 screws, which helps when checking edge space before drilling.

The sockets use black polymer bearings and are made for use with Perko Fig. 1227, 1262, or 1267 rowlock horns. The edge-mount format suits rowing stations where the oarlock needs to sit on the side or gunwale edge rather than on a flat top surface.

Key features

• Zinc alloy construction with plain or chrome-plated finish options for different deck hardware looks.
• Black polymer bearings help the rowlock horn move in the socket during rowing.
• Compatible with Perko Fig. 1227, 1262, and 1267 rowlock horns.
• 4 inch length, 7/8 inch width, and 1-1/8 inch depth support a quick fit check on the mounting edge.
• Uses #10 screws, keeping installation hardware straightforward for small-boat deck and gunwale work.
• Supplied as one pair, giving one socket for each side of a rowing position.

Variants

The range is offered in two finish configurations. The socket body, black polymer bearings, dimensions, screw size, and compatible Perko rowlock horn figures remain the same across the listed finish options.

The finish changes the appearance of the exposed hardware, which matters on tenders, skiffs, and small craft where the rowlock sockets remain visible along the rail or gunwale.

• 1186DP0ZNC: Plain finish. This version keeps the fitting visually understated where the socket is mainly a working oarlock part.
• 1186DP0CHR: Chrome finish. The chrome-plated version gives the fitting a brighter trim look for boats with polished exposed hardware.

Installation and fit

Before mounting, confirm that the edge has enough flat bearing area for the 4 inch socket length and that the screw locations will not interfere with the hull side, trim, flotation compartments, or interior structure. A dry fit with the rowlock horn in place helps confirm rowing angle and clearance before any holes are drilled.

Because this is an edge-mounted rowing fitting, it is a practical match for dinghies, tenders, utility skiffs, and small boats that use removable rowlock horns rather than fixed oar systems. Match it with the listed Perko horn figures to keep the socket and horn geometry consistent.

Materials and care

The plated zinc alloy body and polymer bearing are intended for typical small-boat hardware use. After saltwater use, rinse the sockets with fresh water and keep grit out of the bearing area so the rowlock horn can turn without unnecessary wear.
