Schaefer 78-01 Stainless Steel Welded Pad Eye

The Schaefer 78-01 Stainless Steel Welded Pad Eye is a heavy-duty attachment point designed for demanding marine rigging applications. Manufactured from high-quality 316 stainless steel, it provides outstanding strength and corrosion resistance for long-term performance in harsh saltwater environments. The welded eye construction offers a secure anchor point for lines, blocks, straps, and other deck hardware, making it an ideal choice for sailboats, powerboats, and general marine use.

Featuring a compact 3" × 1" mounting base and a 2,500 lb safe working load, the 78-01 combines high strength with a low-profile design. Precision-drilled mounting holes allow for secure installation using two 1/4" fasteners, while the polished stainless finish provides a clean appearance and helps resist corrosion. Compatible with the Schaefer 97-51 backing plate (sold separately) for reinforced installations.
