Wichard U-Bolt Pad Eye - 8mm Diameter - 5/16" - 100mm Length - 3-15/16"

The Wichard U-Bolt Pad Eye in 8mm diameter is a marine-grade anchor point essential for serious boaters, deck riggers, and anyone securing critical equipment to fiberglass, aluminum, or composite hulls. This fixture is the go-to choice for attaching safety lines, tow rigs, davit systems, and load-bearing hardware where reliability cannot be compromised.

With a length of 100mm (3-15/16 inch) and designed to accommodate 5/16 inch hardware, this U-bolt provides ample bolt engagement for permanent installations. The stainless steel construction resists saltwater corrosion, ensuring durability in marine environments. Wichard's U-Bolt design distributes stress across a wide pad base, eliminating point loading that can cause cracks in composite structures.

Professional installers and commercial operators choose this Wichard U-Bolt Pad Eye for various applications, including sailboat standing rigging, powerboat mooring systems, and fishing vessel deck hardware. Installation requires pre-drilling through the deck and backing plate mounting, which is critical on fiberglass. This product is ideal for anyone needing a reliable anchor point for securing equipment in demanding marine conditions.
