Sea-Dog Line 173553 Standard Thimble 3/8" White Nylon Rope Eye Splice Protector

The Sea-Dog Line 173553 is a standard rope thimble designed to protect and reinforce eye splices in marine applications. Constructed of durable injection-molded white nylon, this 3/8" thimble prevents rope from direct contact with shackles, hooks, and other hardware, significantly reducing chafe and abrasion at critical connection points.

Key Features:

• Injection-molded white nylon construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Designed for 3/8" diameter rope applications
• Prevents eye splice crushing under load
• Ideal for floating rope, pennants, and general rigging applications
• Smooth interior groove provides uniform support around the entire eye splice
• Lightweight design perfect for marine and boating environments

This thimble is an essential rigging component that extends rope life by maintaining the integrity of eye splices and distributing loads evenly. The nylon material won't rust or corrode in saltwater environments, making it ideal for dock lines, anchor rodes, mooring pennants, and other marine cordage applications.
