Sea-Dog 080033-1 Twin Shank Stainless Steel Bow Eye, 3/8 Inch Shaft x 2-1/2 Inch
Sea-Dog 080033-1 Twin Shank Stainless Steel Bow Eye, 3/8 Inch Shaft x 2-1/2 Inch
The Sea-Dog 080033-1 is a twin shank bow eye designed to serve as a tie-down point on a boat's bow. It is machined from corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel for long-term durability in a marine environment. The shaft is threaded 3/8 inch NC with rolled threads, and measures 2-1/2 inches in shaft length. Unlike bow eyes that rely on a crimped ring to hold the shank in place, this bow eye is supplied with adjustable finish nuts, which provide superior holding performance compared to crimp ring style stern and bow eyes. The twin shank design distributes tie-down load across two threaded studs passing through the hull or bow fitting, and the assembly is rated to a 16,000 pound breaking strength.
This bow eye is part of a Sea-Dog family of machined 304 stainless steel bow eyes offered in multiple shaft lengths, so boat owners can match the shaft length to their hull thickness and mounting hardware. For a more robust lifting assembly, it can be used together with Sea-Dog Lift Eyes (048330 or 048350).
