Stainless Steel Long D-Shackles, In 316-Grade Stainless Steel For Boats & Marine

Product Description

Stainless steel long D-shackles made in 316-grade stainless for best performance in marine environments.  These long D-shackles have some special uses around the boat, where a standard D-shackle will not fit properly.

Choose from our stainless steel long D-shackles ranging from M5 to M10 in size.  The size refers to the diameter of the shackle pin.  For example and M6 shackle has a 6mm diameter pin with an M6 thread. 

The geometry of our stainless long D-shackles is especially suited to joining anchors to chain.  Another common use of the long-shackle is to attach an outhaul line to the clew of a sail.

You can tighten or loosen the shackle pin with pliers or our handy shackle key, which you can keep on your keyring.

Choose the size of D-shackle for your particular need, please check our sizing table which gives the jaw opening and also the length dimension of the shackle.  For other special purposes we have the bow-shackle, wide-shackle or twisted shackle.

The superior corrosion resistance of these 316 grade long D-shackles make them a great choice for sailing, motor boating and other water-sports applications. Use our long D-shackles for attaching anchors to chains.
