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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction stands up to saltwater, spray, and washdowns without rusting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16 inch gate opening clips onto rings, shackles, and padeyes quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded interlocking gate snaps shut on its own and stays closed under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOval link shape keeps the load lined up straight for an even pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9600 pound capacity gives plenty of margin for rigging and everyday securing jobs\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\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 153708-1 made of?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 316 stainless steel, the grade we want for saltwater.
