Whitecap Bow Eye 5/16" x 1-3/8"

The Whitecap Bow Eye 5/16" x 1-3/8" is a marine-grade deck fitting designed for securing lines, fenders, and rigging hardware on boats of all sizes. Whether you're tying off at the dock, rigging a mooring system, or anchoring fenders during a blow, this stainless steel bow eye delivers the reliability that anglers and cruisers depend on in saltwater and freshwater environments.

Precision-engineered from marine-grade stainless steel, the Whitecap Bow Eye features a 5/16" diameter eye opening sized for standard rope and line applications, with a 1-3/8" deck footprint that distributes load evenly across your gunwale or cabin sole. The through-bolt design ensures a permanent, rock-solid installation that won't loosen or rattle underway—critical when you're running through heavy seas or fighting a trophy fish from the bow.

This bow eye suits aluminum and fiberglass boats, center consoles, open skiffs, and cruising sailboats where dependable deck hardware makes the difference between a solid day on the water and a dangerous situation. Installers appreciate the straightforward mounting—a single through-bolt with washers and backing plate keeps the installation secure.
