Sea-Dog Stainless Spring-Gate Quick Link 7/16 In
Sea-Dog Stainless Spring-Gate Quick Link 7/16 In — Product description
The Sea-Dog 153708-1 is a 316 stainless spring-gate quick link that clips on fast and locks shut under load. Oval shape, 7/16 inch gate opening, 2-15/16 inches long, rated to 9600 pounds. A clean, corrosion-proof connector for fender lines, safety tethers, and everyday rigging on deck.
This is the Sea-Dog 153708-1 spring-gate quick link, an oval 316 stainless connector for the jobs where a shackle is overkill and a plain snap hook won't hold. The gate is spring-loaded and interlocking, so it snaps shut on its own and stays closed once there's tension on it. Clip it, walk away, and trust it.
At 2-15/16 inches long with a 7/16 inch gate opening, it fits most rings, padeyes, and thimbles you'll run into on deck. We reach for these for fender lines, safety tethers, flag halyards, and quick rigging connections where you want to clip and unclip by hand without tools.
It's 316 stainless, not 304, so it shrugs off salt spray and washdowns without staining or pitting. Rated to 9600 pounds, it's got plenty of margin for everyday securing work. Rinse it now and then and it'll outlast the line you tie to it.

Sea-Dog rates this link at 9600 pounds. That's plenty of margin for fender lines, safety tethers, and everyday rigging connections.
How long is the link?
It's 2-15/16 inches long overall, a compact oval that's easy to handle with one hand.
Does the gate stay closed on its own?
