One of the Perko nylon handwheels that hold up the teak overhead radio box
in place is stripped and needs major force to turn it. I can't find a
replacement in the Perko catalog because I don't know what the thing is
called. Can anyone tell me what the nomenclature of that thing is?

Hi Peter,
I think you might be describing Perko's 770 "hatch fastener". Doesn't appear to be a current P/N but looks like it might still be available, i.e.:
boater-supplies.com/product/perko-fig-770-hatch-fastener/https://boater-supplies.com/product/perko-fig-770-hatch-fastener/
maybe you can find just a replacement threaded knob if you can sort out the threads
good luck

You might try rethreading the handwheel. Take it and the stud that it fits on to an Ace Hardware store to match it up with the correct hand tap. They are not expensive and probably cheaper than a new handwheel.
