Sea-Dog 079810 Aluminum Weld-On Bow Eye
Sea-Dog 079810 Aluminum Weld-On Bow Eye — Product description
The Sea-Dog 079810 is a weld-on aluminum bow eye that gives you a solid single-eye tie point at the bow. Built for aluminum hulls and deck plates, with a 1-1/4 inch opening that clears most standard winch hooks and shackle pins.
The Sea-Dog 079810 is a weld-on bow eye machined from aluminum, built to give you a solid single-eye tie point right at the bow of an aluminum boat. It's the kind of hardware you weld in once and never think about again. Boaters rig these up as a towing point for a winch strap on the trailer, or as an anchor for a bow line on smaller aluminum skiffs and jon boats.
The body measures 2-1/4 inches long, 2-1/2 inches wide, and 5/8 inch thick, with a 1-1/4 inch eye opening that clears most standard winch hooks and shackle pins. Because it's aluminum, it welds cleanly to an aluminum hull or deck plate without the galvanic headaches you get from mixing metals.
This is a weld-on part, so you'll need a welder and some know-how to fit it. There are no bolt holes. It ships in a bulk package, no retail blister. If you're outfitting an aluminum boat and want a clean, permanent bow attachment point, this one does the job.

Frequently asked questions

What material is it, and what should I weld it to?
It's aluminum. Weld it to an aluminum hull or an aluminum deck plate. Matching the metals keeps galvanic corrosion out of the joint.
How big is the eye opening?
The eye measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter, which clears most standard winch hooks and shackle pins.
What are the overall dimensions?
The body is 2-1/4 inches long, 2-1/2 inches wide, and 5/8 inch thick.
