Product Details

The C. Sherman Johnson Hinged Pad Eye provides a versatile deck attachment point that folds flat when not in use, making it ideal for sailboats and powerboats where a low profile is desired. Unlike rigid pad eyes, this hinged design pivots with the load direction, reducing stress on mounting fasteners and extending hardware life.

Key Features:

  • 5/16" pin diameter accommodates standard shackles and rigging hardware
  • T-316 marine-grade stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh saltwater environments
  • Hinged design folds flat to deck when not in use, preventing snag hazards
  • Built-in friction drag keeps eye in position and eliminates rattling
  • Includes stainless steel backing plate for secure through-deck installation
  • Articulating eye reduces point-loading on fasteners compared to fixed pad eyes

Perfect for jib sheet leads, control lines, safety tethers, and deck rigging applications where a collapsible attachment point is beneficial. The friction mechanism ensures the eye stays upright under load while allowing it to be folded down when stowing lines.
