It is built with a die cast zinc chrome plated head and chrome steel shafts, giving it a bright chrome finish along with corrosion resistance for the head casting. A U-bolt surrounds the cast eye for added strength, forming the twin-shank design that gives this bow eye its name and distributes tie-down loads across two mounting points instead of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bow eye carries a rated breaking strength of 6,000 pounds, making it suitable for securing a boat under winch or trailer tension. The threads are 5\/16 inch-18 UNC, and mounting nuts and washers are included, so no separate hardware purchase is needed for installation. Sea-Dog recommends this bow eye for fresh water use. It is comparable to the Perko #1235 bow eye, making it a straightforward option for boat owners replacing that fitting or outfitting a bow with twin-shank hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 079233-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twin Shank Bow Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial - Head:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die cast zinc, chrome plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial - Shafts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Length (B):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension A:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension D:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension E:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreaking Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6,000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.592 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuts and washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514079075\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal fit; not restricted to a specific boat make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 079233-1 Twin Shank Bow Eye used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It serves as a tie-down point on a boat's bow, letting you secure the boat with a winch line or tie-down strap.
