Schaefer Quick Release Pin - 3/16" x .5" Grip

The Schaefer Quick Release Pin - 3/16" x .5" Grip is a marine-grade fastening solution built for boaters, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts who demand reliability in rough conditions. When you're securing critical equipment—from bimini frames and hardtops to outrigger mounts and cabin doors—this quick release pin delivers instant attachment and detachment without fumbling with traditional bolts or screws. Designed by Schaefer Marine, a trusted name in deck hardware for decades, this pin eliminates downtime and keeps your rigging secure when it matters most.

Constructed from 316 stainless steel, the Schaefer Quick Release Pin resists saltwater corrosion and maintains structural integrity through years of marine service. The 3/16" diameter shaft paired with a .5" grip diameter provides a comfortable, ergonomic hold even when wearing wet gloves or in heavy seas. With a safe working load of 1700 lbs, this pin handles substantial loads without shearing or bending—critical for securing equipment that experiences constant vibration and stress from wave action and motor operation. The quick release mechanism engages smoothly and holds position under load, then releases instantly when you need to remove or adjust gear.

Serious anglers and charter operators rely on Schaefer hardware to keep tackle rigging, radar mounts, and electronic consoles precisely positioned throughout the day. The quick release design proves invaluable when you need to stow a hardtop for trailering, adjust outrigger spread in seconds, or swap between different fishing configurations. This pin works seamlessly with Schaefer's ecosystem of marine deck hardware and fits standard 3/16" quick release sockets and bases. Whether you're running a center console, sportfisher, or commercial vessel, the Schaefer Quick Release Pin - 3/16" x .5" Grip delivers the dependable, corrosion-resistant performance that keeps your boat rigged and ready.
