Sea-Dog Pad Eye 081200-1, 5/16 Inch Loop, Forged 304 Stainless Steel, Pair

The Sea-Dog Pad Eye 081200-1 is a forged 304 stainless steel deck fitting designed to give you a strong, corrosion-resistant tie-down or attachment point on a boat, dock, or trailer. It is commonly used for block attachments, controlling a lead line, or creating a secure tie-down point for gear, fenders, or accessories. Because it is forged rather than cast, the pad eye offers excellent strength for its size and holds up well in the marine environment without rusting or pitting over time.

This pad eye features a 5/16 inch loop with a 3/8 inch base width and an overall length of 1-3/8 inches, sized for use with #8 flat head fasteners (fasteners not included, sold separately). It is sold as a pair, giving you two matching pad eyes for symmetrical installations such as mounting points on either side of a hatch, deck box, or gear tie-down location. The low-profile forged design keeps the fitting compact while still providing a secure loop for lines, hooks, or straps.

Constructed entirely of corrosion-resistant forged 304 stainless steel, this pad eye is built to handle continuous exposure to saltwater, sun, and marine hardware stress without weakening or discoloring like lower-grade cast fittings.
