Wichard 98mm Round Diamond Pad Eye with M8 Screw

The Wichard Diamond Pad Eye Round 98mm M8 Screw provides a deck or hull attachment point for compatible sailing hardware. The forged metal fitting is shaped to accept a shackle, stay, or other suitable connection. The fixed eye remains in position for a standing attachment. The design is intended for installed hardware rather than temporary line clipping.

The attachment is held by its fixed mounting arrangement. The mounting surface and fasteners must be selected for the anticipated load. Suitable connection types depend on the mounting geometry and the load direction. The mounting-hole pattern and eye clearance are important when planning the installation.

Wichard lists a marine working load of 9,259 lb for this model. The corresponding breaking load is 24,691 lb. Check the stated mounting dimensions before drilling or replacing deck hardware. Deck reinforcement and fastener selection are part of the complete load-bearing installation. Browse more sailing hardware for related deck and rigging equipment.
