Sea-Dog Stern Eye 080135-1, 3/8 Inch, 16,000 lb Breaking Strength, 304 Stainless Steel

The Sea-Dog 080135-1 stern eye is a tie-down point designed to mount at the stern of a boat, giving you a secure attachment for dock lines, tow lines, or trailer tie-downs. 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.
