Maximum Security for Critical Rigging

Engineered for permanent or long-term installations, our Bolt-Type Safety Bow Shackles provide the highest level of security in the marine hardware class. Unlike standard screw-pin shackles, this model features a 3-part locking system: a bolt, a nut, and a stainless steel cotter pin.

Available in both Polished Silver and Matte Black finishes, these shackles are crafted from premium T316 Stainless Steel. The "Omega" bow shape allows for multi-directional loading, making them perfect for anchoring, towing, and heavy-duty industrial lifting where vibration might cause a standard pin to back out.

Key Features

  • Triple-Lock Safety System: The combination of a threaded bolt, hex nut, and cotter pin ensures the shackle will never accidentally open, even under constant rotation or vibration.
  • Marine Grade T316 Steel: Superior molybdenum content offers maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater environments (available in natural silver or black coated finish).
  • Oversized Bolt Design: As shown in the specs, the bolt diameter (B) is significantly larger than the body (A) for enhanced shear strength.
  • Wide Bow Opening: The generous interior width allows for the attachment of multiple lines, thimbles, or straps without binding.

How to Install (Step-by-Step Guide)

Proper installation is critical for the safety mechanism to work effectively:

  1. Disassemble: Straighten the legs of the cotter pin (if bent), pull it out, unscrew the hex nut, and slide the bolt out of the shackle body.
  2. Attach: Align the shackle bow with your anchor chain, recovery strap, or rigging point.
  3. Insert Bolt: Slide the bolt through the shackle eyes and your attachment point. Ensure it seats fully.
  4. Secure Nut: Thread the hex nut onto the bolt and tighten it (hand-tight is often sufficient for light loads, but a wrench ensures a snug fit).
  5. Lock with Pin: Insert the cotter pin through the hole at the end of the bolt. Crucial Step: Bend the split legs of the cotter pin outward to lock the nut in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose this "Bolt Type" over a standard screw pin?
A: Bolt-type shackles are the industry standard for permanent or semi-permanent installations. The cotter pin prevents the nut from backing off, making it safer for applications involving vibration (like engines or towing) or where the shackle might rub against surfaces.

Q: Is the black version also 316 Stainless Steel?
A: Yes, both the Silver and Black variants are made from the same high-quality T316 Stainless Steel core. The black version features a durable coating for aesthetics and low visibility.

Q: How do I measure the correct size?
A: Check the "B (Pin/Bolt)" column in the table. This is the part that must pass through your chain link or anchor hole. For example, a 3/8" shackle actually requires a 1/2" clearance hole.
