The shank has a 1\/2 inch outside diameter, a 1-3\/4 inch shank length, and 1-3\/4 inch spacing between the horns, giving the buyer the key dimensions needed before replacing worn hardware or outfitting a dinghy, tender, utility boat, or small rowing craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese rowlock horns are made from zinc alloy and offered in either a plain finish or a chrome-plated finish. The ribbed horn shape helps hold the oar in place during rowing while still allowing the movement needed for normal strokes, dockside maneuvering, and short trips between boat and shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed horn-style rowlock hardware for traditional oar control on dinghies, tenders, and small craft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch outside diameter shank for use with compatible rowlock sockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-3\/4 inch shank length and 1-3\/4 inch spacing between horns for checking fit against existing hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc alloy construction with finish options for either a plain utility look or a chrome-plated appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair, making it suitable for replacing both port and starboard rowlock horns at the same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is offered in two finish configurations, so the main difference is appearance and surface finish rather than fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth variants share the same confirmed rowlock horn format, zinc alloy construction, 1\/2 inch shank outside diameter, 1-3\/4 inch shank length, and 1-3\/4 inch spacing between horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1262DP0ZNC: Plain finish.

This option gives the rowlock horns a brighter plated appearance for boats where visible deck or tender hardware is kept more polished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, measure the existing socket and old rowlock horn rather than relying on the boat model alone. The important fit checks are the 1\/2 inch shank outside diameter, the 1-3\/4 inch shank length, and the 1-3\/4 inch opening between the horns. Matching those dimensions helps the horn sit correctly in the socket and keeps the oar positioned as expected while rowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese horns are a straightforward hardware replacement for compatible rowing setups. They are most useful on tenders, dinghies, and small utility boats where simple mechanical rowing hardware is preferred over plastic or folding oarlock styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rowlock horn pair is a good match for boat owners refreshing a tender, replacing a missing horn, or keeping spare rowing hardware aboard for a dinghy that sees regular dock, mooring, or shoreline use. The plain finish works well for functional service, while the chrome version fits better where the hardware is visible and the boat has other polished fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the horns with fresh water after saltwater use and check the socket fit periodically, especially on tenders that are stored outside or used around sand, grit, and dock wash. A small amount of routine cleaning helps the shank move freely in the socket and reduces buildup around the horn ribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOne pair of Perko 1262 ribbed type rowlock horns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Plain","offer_id":52581975195829,"sku":"QBP640608-V1","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chrome","offer_id":52581975228597,"sku":"QBP640608-V2","price":30.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1334884_qbp640608.webp?v=1780201938","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp640608","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
