FAQ
What is the Ennis line at Steveston Marine?
The Ennis line consists of Perko-made ensign staff hardware, including caps, eyelets, posts, sockets, and studs used to mount and fly a boat's ensign flag on the stern.
What is an ensign staff socket used for?
An ensign staff socket is a deck or transom-mounted fitting that holds the base of a flagpole upright so a boat's ensign or courtesy flag can be flown.
Are Ennis Perko flagpole fittings made of brass?
Yes, these ensign staff caps, eyelets, posts, sockets, and studs are precision brass and bronze fittings designed for saltwater durability.
Do I need both a socket and a post for an ensign staff?
Yes, the socket is the deck-mounted base and the post or stud secures the staff itself, so most boaters need matching pieces from the same series.
Can Ennis ensign staff hardware be used on sailboats?
Yes, ensign staff hardware is common on both sail and power boats for flying national or courtesy flags at the stern.
