Sea-Dog Screw Pin Anchor Bow Shackle, 5/16 Inch, Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel, Part 147808-1

The Sea-Dog 147808-1 is a 5/16 inch screw pin anchor bow shackle built for joining an anchor to mooring chain or for use in anchor kits. Its rounded bow shape suits a wide range of rigging applications, and the screw pin closure allows quick, repeated connecting and disconnecting without special tools, unlike a permanently swaged or riveted connector. This makes it a practical choice for boaters who need to attach or detach ground tackle regularly rather than leave it fixed in place.

The shackle is constructed of drop forged steel that is hot dipped galvanized, a finish and forming process that gives it the strength for rigging duty along with a coating suited to the corrosion exposure of a marine environment. For boaters who want a non-ferrous alternative for extended saltwater exposure, a stainless steel version of this shackle style is also available as a separate part.
