Sea-Dog Stainless Steel Bow Eye, 1/2 Inch NC Thread, 080055-1

The Sea-Dog Bow Eye (080055-1) is a machined stainless steel mounting eye used as an anchor point on the bow of a boat, commonly for winch hook-up, trailer tie-down, or towing. Unlike many bow eyes that use a crimped ring to hold the eye assembly together, this one is finished with nuts, giving a more secure, serviceable connection at the base of the eye. The threaded shank is 1/2 inch NC (National Coarse), and the part is machined from AISI 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in fresh and salt water environments.

Overall dimensions are compact: the eye stands 3-1/2 inches tall (B), with a 7/16 inch eye/rod section (A), a 1-3/8 inch inner dimension (C), an overall span of 4-15/16 inches (D), and a 1-7/8 inch measurement (E) at the base. The unit weighs 0.69 pounds and is supplied as a single piece. This bow eye is intended as a direct mount point for boats needing a stainless steel towing or lifting eye at the bow.
