Wichard 10mm Eye Nut - Thread M12 x 175mm

The Wichard 10mm Eye Nut – Thread M12 x 175mm is a forged marine fastening component designed for serious offshore and coastal boaters who demand reliability in high-stress rigging applications. Whether you're setting up standing rigging, securing through-deck hardware, or anchoring critical structural elements on your vessel, this eye nut delivers the dependability that professional mariners and experienced boat builders have trusted for decades. Single-piece forged construction eliminates weak points and ensures consistent performance in salt spray, UV exposure, and dynamic loads.

Built from premium marine-grade materials, the Wichard 10mm Eye Nut features M12 x 175mm threading that accepts standard metric fasteners and provides an integrated eye loop for wire rope, shackles, or block attachment. The complete single-piece forged design means no welded seams to corrode or fatigue under cyclic load—critical when you're miles offshore and replacement hardware isn't an option. Outstanding breaking loads ensure this fastener won't be the weak link in your rigging system, even when facing heavy wind, rough seas, or the constant tension of a working sailboat under way.

Wichard eye nuts are ideal for sailors, boat builders, and marine engineers who prioritize durability and safety in permanent deck and structural installations. Applications include upper shrouds, lower shrouds, forestay anchoring, and any through-deck attachment where you need rated strength and corrosion resistance. Installation is straightforward—thread into pre-drilled and tapped holes, torque to manufacturer specifications, and lock with a secondary fastener or wire locking method. Available in multiple sizes, the 10mm version suits mid-range displacement sailboats and working powerboats where robust hardware meets realistic weight and cost considerations.
