Schaefer Investment Cast Pad Eye - 3" OD Base

The Schaefer Investment Cast Pad Eye with 3" OD Base is a heavy-duty deck fitting designed for serious boaters and anglers who demand reliability where it matters most. This pad eye is essential for securing rigging, anchoring equipment, or tying down gear on a fishing vessel or cruising boat.

Constructed using investment casting, this pad eye provides superior strength and durability compared to stamped or welded alternatives. The monolithic structure eliminates weak points or joints, ensuring it can withstand the constant stress of saltwater use and rough seas. The 3-inch outer diameter base helps distribute load evenly across the mounting surface, protecting your deck from damage under dynamic loads.

Ideal for installation on cabin roofs, rails, or forward decks, this fitting serves as a permanent, load-rated anchor point. Anglers can rely on it for securing outriggers, downrigger cables, and safety equipment, making it a versatile choice for various marine applications.
