    PERKO develops free fuel system design booklet

    August 30, 2010 4:22 pm EST

    After successfully conducting training seminars across the country on the new diurnal emissions requirements, Perko now offers an informative booklet to aid their customers through the fuel system design process. This practical guide takes readers step-by-step through the various stages of construction to ensure they comply with updated regulations.

    Providing a compressive resource, the in-depth booklet includes a helpful worksheet section. These useful forms make organizing the process simple regardless of whether builders decide to design the systems in-house or work with system integrators.

    Copies of this educational booklet will be available at the International Boatbuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) or by contacting Perko directly.

    Established in 1907, Perko manufactures superior marine lights, hardware and other accessories. More information on the company's new Evaporative Emissions Control Systems, emissions regulations, requirements and solutions can be found at www.perkofuelsystems.com.

    New LED trim tab lights simplify underwater illumination

    June 7, 2010 11:16 am EST

    Whether to attract fish, improve ambiance or create a striking visual effect at night, underwater lighting is in demand. A marine lighting innovator for over 100 years, Perko introduces simple-to-install Trim Tab Surface Mount Lights. Now boat owners can have all the benefits of underwater illumination without drilling additional holes in the transom.

    Mounting directly on trim tabs already in place, these LED lights require no further holes to be made below the waterline. Customizable, the beam of light can be adjusted by simply transitioning the trim tabs up and down.

    Available with blue or white LEDs, the energy-efficient Trim Tab Surface Mount Lights produce less heat and use 1/10 the power of standard bulbs. With a 15 degree beam angle, the white version produces 75 lumens, 324 CP, while the blue supplies 27 lumens, 207 CP.

    Rated for a service life of 50,000 hours, the 12V, 7W lights feature a completely-submersible, non-corrosive, molded black polymer housing. Measuring 4-1/8" L x 1-5/16" W x 1-1/4" H, they come with 8' of 18 electrical cable, as well as removable brackets for horizontal or vertical installations. A mounting riser is included for lipped trim tabs.

    The versatile Trim Tab Surface Mount Lights from Perko retail for less than $499 per pair.

    PERKO takes fuel system design training on the road

    March 16, 2010 10:24 am EST

    Now busy boat and fuel tank builders don't have to wait for the next trade show to learn about the new diurnal emissions requirements and the numerous options available to address them. Bringing the latest advancements in fuel system technology to their doorsteps, Perko is conducting in-depth, training seminars across the country.

    "The primary goal of these seminars is to convey enough information to builders so that they feel comfortable designing their own fuel systems and/or evaluating design proposals offered by suppliers," said VP of sales and marketing George Bellwoar. "More than 40 builders have already attended one of these sessions."

    The seminar covers the new emissions requirements and solutions. Sample tanks, valves, canisters, vents and fills help builders understand fuel system design issues, such as creating ullage and proper venting, as well as avoiding spitback and wellback.

    To find a seminar nearby, contact Perko. More details on the company's new Evaporative Emissions Control Systems, emissions regulations, requirements and solutions can be found at www.perkofuelsystems.com. Established in 1907, Perko manufactures superior marine lights, hardware and other accessories.

    New pole light series features versatile base design

    March 10, 2010 10:03 am EST

    For years, owners of small, 10', 12' and 14' aluminum boats have struggled with traditional plug-in pole light bases. They're designed to mount on horizontal surfaces, which are virtually nonexistent in the layout of these compact metal craft. But, now there's a new option. Perko introduces its innovative 1131 Series removable plug-in pole lights.

    The versatile 1131 Series is engineered specifically to mount on the side gunnels and consoles of small aluminum boats. Simple to install and wire, the streamlined lights are available in three convenient sizes: 24", 36" and 42".

    Perko is the only manufacturer of marine grade navigation lights offering gold-plated contacts which provide superior corrosion resistance for an ultra-long service life. When not in use, the dependable lights can be easily stowed with Perko's 0477 pole clips, which can be mounted out of the way on the side of the boat.

    Perko has manufactured high-quality marine lights, hardware and other accessories for over 100 years. To meet upcoming EPA regulations, the company also offers state-of-the-art evaporative emissions control systems, including canisters, fuel system valves, fills, vents and caps.

    New white line lights blend in seamlessly

    January 4, 2010 9:38 am EST

    No longer do boatbuilders and owners have to settle for navigation lamps that clash with a vessel's white exterior. Perko's latest White Line Lights are constructed of heavy-duty white plastic. So, even when they're painted to perfectly match the white onboard, it's hardly noticeable if the color chips, providing a long-lasting, uniform appearance.

    Designed for craft 65.6' to 164' in length, the White Line Lights are USCG certified for 2nm or 5nm. The lights measure 7-1/2" high and are available as Red and green side, white masthead and stern and yellow towing lamps, as well as all-round versions in white, red, green and yellow.

    Easy to install with 1/4" screws, the durable White Line Lights are UL-and CE-certified and feature a pre-wired, double-contact socket and 3' of 16/3-SO cable. A watertight access cap makes rebulbing and cleaning easy. Bulbs are not included. White Line models are also available for boats under 65.6'.

    For over 100 years, Perko has manufactured superior marine lights, hardware and other accessories. To meet upcoming EPA regulations, the company also offers state-of-the-art evaporative emissions control systems, including canisters, fuel system valves, fills, vents and caps.
