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 173556 is a standard rope thimble designed to protect and preserve rope eye splices in marine applications. This essential rigging hardware prevents rope from directly contacting the load it is hoisting, significantly reducing wear and extending rope life.

Key Features:

  • Constructed of durable injection-molded white nylon for corrosion-free performance
  • 5/8-inch size fits standard marine rope diameters
  • Prevents eye splices from being crushed under load
  • Reduces chafe and abrasion at critical attachment points
  • Ideal for floating rope, pennants, and general rigging applications
  • Lightweight nylon construction won't add significant weight to rigging systems

Thimbles are inserted into the eye of a spliced rope to maintain the rope's natural curve while providing a smooth, hard surface for shackles, hooks, or other hardware to bear against. This prevents the rope fibers from being pinched or crushed, which can dramatically weaken the splice over time. The nylon construction makes this thimble perfect for recreational and light commercial marine use where stainless steel may be unnecessary.
