It is built from machined 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in marine environments and uses a robust two-piece backing plate arrangement for added rigidity when bolted through the transom or hull. The 3\/8 inch shaft has rolled threads, which are stronger than cut threads of the same size, and the eye is secured with an adjustable finish nut rather than a crimped ring. That adjustable-nut design lets the eye be tightened, backed off, or serviced without destroying the fastener, which is an advantage over older crimp-ring style stern eyes that cannot be re-tensioned once installed. The unit carries a 16,000 pound breaking strength rating, making it suitable for demanding towing and mooring loads. Overall installed dimensions are 9 x 4 x 1 inches, with a smaller backing plate measuring 2-1\/4 inch x 3\/4 inch and a larger backing plate measuring 2-3\/4 inch x 1-1\/4 inch. The finish is polished stainless steel, matching other Sea-Dog deck hardware for a consistent look across the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 080135-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener\/Shaft Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch NC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolled Threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreaking Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16,000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 x 4 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Plate 1 Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/4 inch x 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Plate 2 Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-3\/4 inch x 1-1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable Finish Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.392 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514080125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 080135-1 stern eye used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It serves as a tie-down point at the stern of a boat, giving you a secure fitting for dock lines, tow lines, or trailer straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the breaking strength of this stern eye?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 080135-1 stern eye is rated at 16,000 pounds breaking strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 080135-1 stern eye made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is constructed of machined 304 stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size shaft does this stern eye have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 080135-1 uses a 3\/8 inch NC shaft with rolled threads, which are stronger than cut threads of the same diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this stern eye differ from crimp-style stern eyes?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 080135-1 uses an adjustable finish nut instead of a crimped ring, so it can be tightened or serviced after installation, unlike a crimp-ring stern eye that is fixed once formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the backing plate dimensions on this stern eye?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 080135-1 uses two backing plates, one measuring 2-1\/4 inch x 3\/4 inch and a second measuring 2-3\/4 inch x 1-1\/4 inch, for added mounting rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Sea-Dog 080135-1 stern eye?\u003c\/strong\u003e The stern eye ships with its backing plates and an adjustable finish nut for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the overall size of this stern eye?\u003c\/strong\u003e Overall dimensions of the Sea-Dog 080135-1 are 9 x 4 x 1 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 080135-1 stern eye weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.392 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sea-Dog 080135-1 stern eye genuine Sea-Dog hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 080135-1 is a genuine Sea-Dog part, part number 080135-1, made from machined 304 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the 080135-1 stern eye have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a polished stainless steel finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988545351899,"sku":"S-D-080135-1","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/7497.jpg?v=1784422008","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-080135-1-stern-eye-machined-304-stainless-steel-boat-tie-down-3-8-nc-thread-16-000-lb-breaking-strength","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
