Sea-Dog 3/8 In Galvanized Bow Shackle, Screw Pin
Sea-Dog 3/8 In Galvanized Bow Shackle, Screw Pin — Product description
Sea-Dog's galvanized steel bow shackle is the rounded, anchor-style connector you want where the pull isn't dead straight. A 7/16 inch screw pin threads in by hand, and the galvanized coating keeps the rust off in salt air. Sized as a 3/8 inch shackle for small to mid-size anchor and rigging setups.
Sea-Dog makes this bow shackle for the jobs that hold your boat in place. It's the rounded, anchor-style shape, so it handles pull from more than one direction without binding. That's exactly what you want where your anchor rode meets the chain, or anywhere the load isn't dead straight.
The pin is a 7/16 inch screw pin. Thread it in by hand, snug it with a wrench or a marlinspike, and you're done. No special tools. The 11/16 inch ring opening gives you room for chain or a thimbled rode. It's sized as a 3/8 inch shackle, a common match for small to mid-size anchor setups.
Everything's galvanized steel. That zinc coating is what keeps the rust off when it lives in salt air and spray. For a working connection you can trust up on the bow, it's hard to beat a simple galvanized shackle. Keep a couple of spares in the anchor locker. You'll use them.

Frequently asked questions
What size shackle is this?
It's a 3/8 inch bow shackle with a 7/16 inch pin and an 11/16 inch ring opening. That's a common size for small to mid-size anchor and rigging setups.
Is it okay for saltwater use?
Yes. The galvanized steel coating is made to shed rust in salt air and spray. Rinse it with fresh water now and then and it'll last you a long time.
What's a bow shackle good for?
The rounded bow shape takes load from more than one direction, so it's the right pick where your anchor rode and chain meet or anywhere the pull isn't straight.
How do I keep the screw pin from backing out?
Thread the screw pin in by hand, then snug it with a wrench or a marlinspike. A lot of boaters add a light seize of wire or a zip tie so it can't work loose under vibration.
