Whitecap's stainless steel wire rope thimble seats inside the spliced eye of 1\/2 inch line and takes the chafe that would otherwise wear through the fibers where they wrap a shackle, ring, or anchor swivel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thimble is one of those little fittings that does a big job. Whitecap's stainless steel wire rope thimble sits inside the spliced eye of your 1\/2 inch synthetic line and takes the abrasion that would otherwise chew through the fibers. It's the smooth, teardrop-shaped metal insert that keeps the eye from collapsing under load and from chafing where it wraps a shackle pin, ring, or anchor swivel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll splice or seize the eye of the rope right around it. Once it's set, the thimble holds the loop's shape and spreads the load across a wider radius instead of a tight, hard bend. That's what makes a rope last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel means it won't rust streak your deck or seize up in salt water. Sized for 1\/2 inch diameter rope, it's a common fit for anchor rodes, mooring pennants, and dock line eyes on trailerable boats and mid-size cruisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists rust and salt-water corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 1\/2 inch diameter synthetic rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTeardrop shape protects the spliced eye from chafe at the shackle or ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpreads load across a wider bend radius so the rope lasts longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSilver finish, standard wire rope thimble profile\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 Whitecap 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 size rope does this thimble fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's made for 1\/2 inch diameter synthetic rope.
