Whitecap 1/2 x 4-3/4 in Threaded Marine Bow Eye

The longer-threaded Whitecap bow eye is intended for an installation that needs 4-3/4 in of threaded length. It uses 1/2 in stock and has a fixed ring for attaching suitable bow hardware. The extra thread length is the main difference from the shorter version.

Whitecap lists a 3/4 x 3 in plate for the fitting. The eye ring diameter is 1-1/2 in, keeping the connection opening consistent with the shorter model. Check all of these measurements against the boat's existing mounting arrangement. The longer threaded shank needs enough room for the nut and backing arrangement.

A bow eye must be secured to appropriate hull structure, not merely tightened against an unsupported surface. Confirm the required backing and sealing procedure for the boat. This model is a hardware replacement option when the longer threaded section is necessary. Find related fittings in mounting and rigging hardware.
