Deck Pipes

Hawse pipes are installed to allow chains and lines to pass through hulls and decks seamlessly without doing a number on the paint. They are currently available in lots of styles to meet the varying needs and wants of boaters. Some models feature spring-loaded or chain-mounted lids. They are better known as chain and rope deck pipes. Some brands such as Sea Dog, White Water, Seachoice, and many others also offer models with a hinged, snap-down cover. All units with or without a lid are available in two shapes: oval and round. Hawse pipes can be also triangular. The choice is entirely up to you.

You can also choose from a variety of materials. Typically, manufacturers use brass, bronze, stainless steel, and zinc to make their products. That is because the above-mentioned materials have high resistance to corrosion, and that does matter when it comes to marine environments. Perko also offers models made from UV-stabilized, fiber-reinforced plastic. When deciding on the best unit for your boat, you should consider not only its design and the material used but also its inside diameter to make sure it can be used with your chain or lines.
