Sea-Dog 8 Inch Chrome Plated Ships Bell with Mounting Bracket

The Sea-Dog 8 inch Chrome Plated Ships Bell (part number 455721-3) brings traditional nautical styling to any vessel while meeting official signaling requirements. Constructed of improved cast brass rather than lower grade spun brass, this bell is built to hold its shape and tone over years of marine use, then finished in a bright chrome plating for a polished, low-maintenance look on deck or at the helm.

This 8 inch bell meets Coast Guard, ABYC, and NMMA requirements, featuring a 200 cm mouth opening and a striker mass no less than 3% of the mass of the bell, making it suitable for use as a signaling bell on vessels from 12 meters (39.4 feet) up to 20 meters (65.6 feet) in length. The bell comes complete with its hanger and a wall mounted bracket, so it is ready to install without sourcing separate mounting hardware. It installs using two #6 flat head fasteners, which are not included, allowing the installer to select fastener length and finish to match the mounting surface.

Whether used to satisfy signaling equipment requirements or simply to add a classic brass-and-chrome accent to a helm station, companionway, or dock house, this ships bell combines compliance-grade construction with traditional design.
