Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Steel Quick Link, 3-1/2 In Oval
Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Steel Quick Link, 3-1/2 In Oval — Product description
The Sea-Dog quick link gives you a fast, secure connection point in marine-grade 316 stainless steel. The spring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own, so you're not fighting a threaded sleeve with cold hands. At 3-1/2 inches with a 7/16 inch gate opening, it drops right into anchor rodes, safety lines, and everyday deck rigging.
If you've ever tried to thread a screw-gate link closed while the boat's pitching, you'll appreciate this one. The gate is spring-loaded and interlocking, so it snaps shut on its own and stays put. No fumbling with a knurled sleeve, no dropped hardware over the side.
It's cut from 316 stainless steel, the grade you want for anything that lives in salt spray. That's what keeps it from streaking rust down your gelcoat after a season out there. The oval body measures 3-1/2 inches long with a 7/16 inch gate opening, so it clears most shackle pins, thimbles, and chain links without a wrestling match.
Rated to a 15,800 pound capacity, it's got plenty of margin for anchor rode connections, safety tethers, fender lines, and general rigging jobs around the deck. Anglers use them for gear, cruisers keep a few in the ready bag. It's simple, honest hardware you buy once and forget about. We'd still give it a quick rinse now and then to keep the gate spring moving freely.
