Bow Shackle M4–M10 — A4 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel

Marine grade A4 (AISI 316) stainless steel bow shackle — strong, corrosion-resistant rigging hardware with the classic wide-mouth shape that handles chain, rope and webbing with ease.

Why choose a stainless steel bow shackle?

• Marine grade A4 (AISI 316) stainless — superior pitting and salt-water resistance over A2.
• Wide bow body — accepts thicker chain, rope and webbing than equivalent flat or D shackles.
• Forged construction with high tensile and yield strength for demanding loads.
• Low-maintenance finish — rinse with fresh water after marine use and the shackle stays as-new.

Typical uses

Yacht and boat rigging, anchor chain connections, mooring, lifting and lashing, vehicle recovery and towing, livestock and agricultural use, and any heavy-duty connection that needs corrosion resistance and a wide loading angle.

Strength and reliability

The bow shape spreads the load across a wider arc than D-shaped shackles, making it the go-to choice when the connecting line approaches at an angle. Combined with A4 316 stainless steel, you get a shackle that’s strong, weatherproof and built to last.
