Sea-Dog Line 316 Stainless Steel Screw Pin Bow Shackle, 1/2 Inch Pin - 147062-1
The Sea-Dog Line 147062-1 is a screw pin bow shackle built for rigging tasks where you need to connect and disconnect hardware quickly and repeatedly. Its rounded bow shape gives it a wider range of use than a straight-sided shackle, making it a common choice for anchor chain connections, rigging points, and general marine hardware attachment. The screw pin closure lets you thread the pin in and out by hand for fast removal without tools, which is useful for gear that gets swapped or serviced often.
This shackle is constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel, a corrosion resistant alloy suited to saltwater and marine environments. Because it is a cast shackle, Sea-Dog does not assign it a load rating, so the 147062-1 should be used for general rigging and hardware connection rather than load-critical or lifting applications. It carries a 1/2 inch pin size and is sold with a standard pack quantity of 10 shackles per pack from the manufacturer, though it is available for purchase individually.
