<p>For over a century, Sea-Dog Line has stood as a cornerstone of the marine hardware industry, delivering innovative solutions that meet the demanding needs of recreational and commercial boaters. Founded in the early 1920s by entrepreneur Hans "Action" Broson Sneve, the company began with a unique sales approach—showcasing marine hardware aboard a 55-foot cruiser that sailed from Alaska to Mexico. This hands-on philosophy continues to shape Sea-Dog's commitment to producing hardware that performs reliably in the harshest saltwater environments.</p><h3>Industry-Leading Marine Hardware Manufacturing</h3><p>Based in Everett, Washington, Sea-Dog Corporation operates a 75,000-square-foot warehouse stocking over 8 million parts and runs an injection molding facility with 16 machines producing more than 17 million components annually. The company's extensive product line spans anchoring systems, deck hardware, electrical components, plumbing fittings, and lighting solutions—all engineered with marine-grade materials like stainless steel, brass, and UV-resistant polymers. Sea-Dog's recognition as a multiple-time NMDA Supplier of the Year underscores the brand's excellence in both product quality and customer service, while their on-staff ABYC-certified marine technician provides invaluable installation and technical support.</p><h3>Premium Marine Components for Every Vessel</h3><p>Sea-Dog's <a href="/7549-sea-dog-line-windshield-washers-wipers-replacement-motors-201195">windshield washers, wipers, and replacement motors</a> deliver crystal-clear visibility during inclement weather, with both manual and electric options featuring corrosion-resistant stainless steel arms and UV-stable blades designed specifically for marine windshield applications.

Product Details

The Sea-Dog Line 173551 is a standard nylon rope thimble designed for 1/4-inch rope applications. This essential rigging hardware protects rope from direct contact with loads during hoisting operations, preventing the eye splice from being crushed while significantly reducing chafe and abrasion.

Key Features:

  • Injection molded nylon construction for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Ideal for floating rope, pennants, and general rigging applications
  • Lightweight design suitable for marine, recreational, and industrial use
  • Sized specifically for 1/4-inch diameter rope
  • Non-metallic construction eliminates rust and galvanic corrosion concerns

This thimble fits inside the eye of a rope splice to maintain the rope's circular shape and protect it from wear at connection points. The smooth, rounded design distributes stress evenly around the eye splice, extending rope life and maintaining load integrity. Perfect for sailboat rigging, anchor lines, dock lines, and general marine applications where rope protection is essential.
