Sea-Dog Chrome Bow Eye Tie-Down, 2500 lb, 3/8-16
Sea-Dog Chrome Bow Eye Tie-Down, 2500 lb, 3/8-16 — Product description
The Sea-Dog bow eye gives you a solid tie-down point at the bow for winching your boat onto the trailer and strapping it down for the road. It's chrome-plated zinc for corrosion resistance, rated to 2,500 pounds, and comes with the nuts and washer you need to bolt it through the bow.
If you trailer your boat, the bow eye is what your winch strap hooks to and what keeps the bow pinned down for the drive home. This Sea-Dog bow eye is built for exactly that. It's chrome-plated zinc, so it shrugs off spray and road salt, and it's rated to a 2,500-pound working load.
The shaft is a 3/8 inch by 16 UNC thread, 4-3/4 inches long, which passes through the bow and locks down with the included nuts and washer. The eye itself is 15/16 of an inch, plenty of room for a winch hook, a safety chain, or a bow tie-down strap. Installation is straightforward on most small to mid-size hulls where the bow stem is already drilled for a through-bolt fitting.
One eye ships in the package. If you want a spare or a matching setup, you'll need to grab the hardware separately. Simple part, but it's the one you don't want to skimp on when your boat's doing 65 on the highway.

Frequently asked questions
What is this bow eye used for?
It's a through-bolt tie-down point at the bow. Your trailer winch strap hooks to it to pull the boat on, and it doubles as an anchor for the bow safety chain or a tie-down strap on the road.
How much weight can it hold?
It's rated to a 2,500-pound working load, which covers most small and mid-size trailer boats.
What size is the threaded shaft?
The shaft is 3/8 inch by 16 UNC and 4-3/4 inches long. It passes through the bow and secures with the included nuts and washer.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Each bow eye ships with the nuts and washer you need. You get a single eye per package.
What's it made of?
Chrome-plated zinc. The chrome finish holds up well against water spray and the salt you'll pick up trailering near the coast.
