Sea-Dog Line

<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 173552 is a white nylon standard thimble designed for 5/16" rope applications. This essential rigging hardware protects rope from direct contact with loads and hooks, preventing damage and extending rope life.

Key Features:

  • Injection molded white nylon construction for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Designed for 5/16 inch diameter rope
  • Prevents eye splice crushing under load
  • Reduces chafe and abrasion at connection points
  • Ideal for floating rope, pennants, and general rigging applications
  • Lightweight design suitable for marine environments

Rope thimbles are inserted into the eye of a rope splice to create a reinforced loop that maintains its shape under tension. The smooth interior surface distributes load evenly while the thimble's rigid structure protects the rope fibers from being pinched or worn by shackles, hooks, or other hardware. Perfect for sailboat rigging, dock lines, anchor rodes, and general marine rope work.

fast service and fair price

I hope it fits properly

Very easy hope they are the right parts!

I looked around for few months on where to go to purchase JBA headers for my 01 Tundra. I came across Autoplicity and their prices were untouchable. I even called to speak with a sales representative and he gave me a discount code for my purchase. I would highly recommend doing business and plan on doing more business with them.

Cheapest price i could find! Great communication, and fast shipping!

cheaper than anywhere else for the urethane exhaust bushings i bought, including the shipping charges. not to mention my other parts I will be buying. they are an average of40 dollars less. and theyare still cheaper than the cheapest sellers on EBay.

I am very, very satisfied with my order. I ordered a Tonneau cover. It was a 35 lb. package and there was NO shipping cost to me. Plus it was received 3 days after my order. I searched many other websites and Autoplicity had the best pricing.

Sitting at home, having a beer, ordering parts and saving money, can't beat that!!

Unbelievable price!Fast shipping and a great product.Thank You.
