Whitecap Hawse Pipe - 316 Stainless Steel - 4" x 2"

The Whitecap Hawse Pipe in 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade deck fitting designed to guide anchor lines and mooring cables through the hull with minimal friction and wear. Built for saltwater vessels, sailboats, and commercial marine applications, this hawse pipe protects both rope and the vessel's structure by providing a smooth, corrosion-resistant passage. The 4" × 2" interior dimensions accommodate standard anchor rode diameters while maintaining structural integrity in demanding maritime environments.

Constructed from 316 stainless steel—the superior marine alloy offering enhanced chloride corrosion resistance compared to 304 grade—this hawse pipe features a 1-1/8" pipe depth and a robust 6-1/2" × 3-3/8" flange for secure deck mounting. The mounting system uses four #10 fasteners to distribute load evenly and prevent stress concentration. At just 1.1 lbs, the compact design does not compromise durability, making it ideal for vessels where weight management matters without sacrificing reliability in harsh saltwater conditions.

Boat builders, naval contractors, and serious marine enthusiasts rely on Whitecap hawse pipes for bow and stern installations where anchor systems pass through the deck. Installation requires standard deck-mounted fastening and pairs seamlessly with traditional and modern anchor systems. The 316 stainless construction ensures decades of service in exposed saltwater applications without pitting or structural degradation, making it the trusted choice for cruising sailboats, commercial fishing vessels, and coastal defense platforms.
