Sea-Dog Bow Shackle 147060-1, 3/8 Inch Pin, Investment Cast 316 Stainless Steel Screw Pin Shackle

The Sea-Dog 147060-1 Bow Shackle is a 3/8 inch pin stainless steel shackle built for general-purpose marine rigging, anchoring, and hardware connections. Its rounded bow shape accepts a wider range of attachment angles than a straight D-shackle, making it a versatile choice wherever lines, chains, or fittings need a secure but removable connection point.

The shackle body is investment cast from 316 stainless steel, a marine-grade alloy chosen for its resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments. A screw pin closure allows the shackle to be opened and closed by hand without tools, which makes it well suited for rigging tasks where the shackle is connected and disconnected repeatedly, such as swapping fenders, securing anchors, or attaching rigging hardware.

Because this shackle is investment cast rather than forged, it is not load rated and should be used for general connection and rigging purposes rather than applications requiring a certified working load or breaking strength rating. It is sold individually (each).
