Sea-Dog Line 170009 Heavy Duty 3/8" Stainless Steel Thimble

The Sea-Dog Line 170009 is a heavy-duty wire rope thimble designed to protect and reinforce eye splices in marine rigging applications. This essential rigging component prevents wire rope or line from contacting directly with the load, significantly reducing wear and extending the service life of your rigging.

Key Features:

• Constructed from stamped 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in marine environments
• 3/8" diameter size fits standard wire rope and line applications
• Heavy-duty design prevents eye splices from being crushed under load
• Reduces chafe and abrasion on wire rope and synthetic line
• Smooth interior surface protects rope fibers from damage
• Ideal for lifting, hoisting, anchoring, and permanent rigging installations

Thimbles are critical hardware for any permanent eye splice, distributing load evenly around the curve and maintaining the integrity of the rope termination. The 304 stainless steel construction ensures long-lasting performance in saltwater environments, making this thimble an excellent choice for sailboat rigging, dock lines, anchor rodes, and general marine applications.
