{"product_id":"sea-dog-stern-tie-down-mount-304-stainless-steel","title":"Sea-Dog Stern Tie-Down Mount, 304 Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eWhen you're towing your boat down the highway, the stern needs to stay put. This Sea-Dog stern tie-down mount gives you a solid 304 stainless steel eye to run your transom straps to, rated at 28,000 pounds. The 1\/2 inch threaded shaft, adjustable nut, and backing plate handle the load and shrug off saltwater corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrailering a boat puts real stress on the stern. Every bump, every hard stop, the back of the hull wants to move. This Sea-Dog stern tie-down mount gives you a proper anchor point for your transom straps so the stern stays planted from the ramp to the driveway. It's a single eye with a 1\/2 inch NC threaded shaft, and Sea-Dog rates it at 28,000 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole thing is made from 304 stainless steel. That's the grade you want for hardware that lives outside and takes a beating from rain, road salt, and saltwater spray. It won't rust out on you after a season or two the way plated steel does. The shaft runs 6-5\/8 inches, which gives you plenty of length to pass through a transom and still have thread to spare for the adjustable nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward. You drill through the transom, pass the threaded shaft through, and back it up on the inside with the included 3 inch by 3\/4 inch backing plate. That plate spreads the load across a wider area of fiberglass or aluminum, so you're not relying on a single washer to hold everything. The adjustable nut lets you snug it down and set the eye where you want it. Bed it in a good marine sealant and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the mount you run your ratchet or cam straps to when you tie the stern down for towing. Anglers hauling a bass boat, families trailering a runabout, anyone who tows regularly knows the bow strap alone isn't enough. A pair of these at the transom corners keeps the hull from shifting on the bunks. It's sold singly, so grab two if you're setting up both corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to keep in mind. This is a tie-down eye, not a towing or lifting point. It's built for securing the boat on a trailer. If you need a lifting eye or a tow eye, that's a different piece of hardware. For its job, holding the stern down during transport, it's about as solid as they come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e28,000 lb rated capacity gives you a strong, dependable anchor point for transom tie-down straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion from saltwater, road salt, and rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NC threaded shaft, 6-5\/8 inches long, passes through the transom with thread to spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded 3 inch by 3\/4 inch backing plate spreads the load across the transom instead of a single washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable nut lets you set the eye position and snug it down tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit, so you can add one or a matched pair at the stern corners\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 this stern tie-down mount used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a stainless steel eye that mounts on your boat's transom and gives you an anchor point for tie-down straps when you're trailering.
