Electro-galvanized mild steel body with a 3\/8 inch gate opening and a 7700 pound capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sea-Dog spring-gate quick link is the kind of fitting you end up reaching for all over the boat. Push the gate open against the spring, clip it where you need it, and it snaps shut on its own. The interlocking gate seats into the nose of the link so it won't work loose with the motion of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an oval link, 2-15\/16 inches long with a 3\/8 inch gate opening, so it takes a decent-sized shackle, ring, or line eye. The body is electro-galvanized mild steel, which gives you a clean, corrosion-resistant finish for general rigging, anchor connections, flag halyards, fender lines, and all the little connect-and-go jobs around the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated at 7700 pounds, it's got plenty of margin for the loads most boaters throw at it. And it's a quick, one-handed connection that beats fumbling with a threaded shackle pin out on the water. Keep a few in the dock box and you'll find a use for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own for fast, one-handed connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch gate opening fits common shackles, rings, and line eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-15\/16 inch oval body gives a balanced shape for rigging and anchor gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectro-galvanized mild steel resists corrosion out on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7700 pound capacity leaves plenty of margin for everyday deck and rigging loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow does the spring gate work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYou push the gate open against its spring, clip it onto a ring, shackle, or eye, and let go.
