Sea-Dog 147806-1 Screw Pin Anchor Shackle, Galvanized Steel, 1/4 Inch

The Sea-Dog 147806-1 is a 1/4 inch screw pin anchor shackle built from hot dip galvanized drop forged steel. Its rounded bow shape is designed to handle loads applied from many different directions, making it a dependable connector for anchoring and mooring setups. The screw pin closure threads in and out by hand, allowing quick, repeated connecting and disconnecting without tools, which is useful when swapping rigging or breaking down ground tackle at the end of a trip.

This shackle is most commonly used to join an anchor to mooring chain or rode, a role its forged construction and galvanized coating are built to hold up to. The hot dip galvanizing process coats the drop forged steel body to resist the corrosion that comes with constant exposure to saltwater and marine air, while the drop forging process gives the shackle body added strength compared to cast alternatives. At 1/4 inch, this shackle size suits smaller anchors and lighter ground tackle setups where a compact, easy to handle connector is needed.
