Questions & Answers
Is this suitable for permanent mooring?
While hot-dipped galvanised steel is highly corrosion-resistant, we recommend regular inspection for permanent immersion. For long-term mooring, always ensure the pin is moused (secured with wire) to prevent loosening.
What is the pin size?
The pin has a standard 6mm diameter, matching the body of the shackle for uniform strength and fitment with 6mm chain links.
How do I maintain the galvanised finish?
Rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater and periodically check for signs of wear or surface rust. Applying a marine-grade lubricant to the threads will ensure easy removal.
Note: Please verify your required dimensions and load capacities against your rigging setup before purchasing. Available at 4boats.co.uk.
