Product Description

Stainless steel bow shackles made in 316-grade stainless for best performance in marine environments.  These bow shackles have some special uses around the boat, where the forces are not in a straight line.

Choose from our stainless steel bow shackles ranging from M5 to M10 in size.  The size refers to the diameter of the shackle pin.  For example and M6 shackle has a 6mm diameter pin with an M6 thread. 

You can tigthen or loosen the shacke pin with pliers or our handy shackle key, which you can keep on your keyring.

Bow shackles are well suited to situations where the loading is not in a straight line.  One example is when two chains are coming in at different angles to join to a third chain.

Choose the size of bow shackle for your particular need, please check our sizing table which gives the jaw opening and also the length dimension of the shackle.  For other special purposes we have the long-shackle, wide-shackle or twisted shackle.
