Manufactured from chrome-plated zamac with white nylon components, the Whitecap compression handle resists saltwater spray and standard freshwater conditions without the weight of solid brass.

Its lightweight profile—just 0.4 pounds—adds minimal weight to your vessel while maintaining the grip security needed in wet conditions. Installation is straightforward on boats with standard marine mounting provisions. For freshwater use only, this compression handle represents honest, no-nonsense marine hardware that prioritizes durability and ease of operation over complications.
