Wichard 12mm Eye Nut - Thread M12 x 175mm

The Wichard 12mm Eye Nut with Thread M12 x 175mm is a marine-grade fastening solution designed for serious boaters and anglers who demand reliability when securing critical deck hardware, rigging, and mooring equipment. Whether you're setting up a new fishing platform, reinforcing your boat's rail system, or installing permanent anchor points for safety lines, this European-engineered component delivers the corrosion resistance and structural integrity that saltwater conditions demand. Built by Wichard Marine—a trusted name across commercial and recreational marine applications—this eye nut is sized for medium-duty installations where dependable load distribution matters.

Machined from marine-grade stainless steel, the Wichard 12mm Eye Nut resists rust, corrosion, and salt spray degradation that would compromise ordinary hardware in weeks. The M12 x 175mm thread specification—metric sizing with a 175mm length—accommodates substantial fastening depth through deck plates, gunwales, and structural members, ensuring load forces distribute evenly without stress concentration or pull-through. The 12mm eye diameter accepts standard shackles, carabiners, and rigging components, making it a versatile anchor point for everything from fishing rod holders and tackle storage to safety tether attachment and emergency flotation gear. The precision-forged construction and carefully controlled thread geometry minimize installation confusion and maximize holding power once installed.

This fastener is ideal for boat owners upgrading deck infrastructure, charter captains reinforcing high-traffic areas, and DIY anglers building custom rod storage or safety systems. Installation is straightforward: thread the M12 fastener into a pre-drilled and tapped hole, tighten to snug resistance, and attach your hardware to the eye loop. Because Wichard products are engineered to withstand constant UV exposure, temperature cycling, and the abrasive marine environment, you can expect years of maintenance-free service. Confirm that your mounting surface can accommodate a 175mm thread length and that M12 metric threads match your existing installation holes or hardware before ordering.
