Stainless steel shackle for 10mm anchors – code: 01.080.10 – Osculati

10 mm stainless steel anchor shackle Osculati (code 01.080.10)

The 10 mm stainless steel anchor shackle Osculati, code 01.080.10, is a nautical hardware component designed for connecting the anchor to the chain or anchoring system accessories. Made of AISI 316 stainless steel, it is designed for use in marine environments and for functional integration with the bow of the boat.

The peculiarity of this series is the geometry designed for allowing the anchor to fit into the bow rollers without getting stuck, improving smoothness during anchor retrieval and positioning. A choice suitable for those who want a neat and practical connection, consistent with a well-maintained and maintenance-oriented onboard setup.

Features and construction details

Material: stainless steel AISI 316

The shackle is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, an alloy commonly used in nautical hardware for its suitability in environments exposed to salt and humidity. This makes it suitable for deck installations and near the bow, where components are frequently exposed to spray and weather.

Specific function for bow rollers

According to the series description, these shackles are designed to facilitate the insertion of the anchor into the bow roller preventing the anchor/connection assembly from jamming or “locking up.” In practice, the shackle's shape helps maintain a more favorable alignment during anchor retrieval, reducing jams that can occur with less suitable connections.

Reference size: 10 mm

This item is the 10 mm. Other sizes are available in the range, but this datasheet specifically refers to the model indicated by the code 01.080.10.

Selected dimensions (10 mm version)

• A: 10 mm
• B: 20 mm
• D: 20 mm
• L1: 40 mm

Typical onboard applications

The anchor shackle is a central element in the anchoring system and is used to create a practical connection between the anchor and the anchoring line (chain and/or accessories). In the nautical field, this type of shackle is chosen when you want:

• a connection orderly and suitable for passage on bow roller;
• a solution in AISI 316 stainless steel for consistency with the existing hardware;
• a component suitable for maintenance and scheduled replacements of the anchoring system.

It is particularly useful on installations where the anchor must properly fit back in place, limiting situations where the connection can hinder the alignment of the anchor during retrieval.

Operational advantages

• Smoothness on the bow roller: the series is designed to facilitate the insertion of the anchor into the bow roller without jamming.
• Material suitable for the marine environment: the’AISI 316 it is a typical choice for components exposed to salt spray and humidity.
• Technical and clean design: solution suitable for bow fittings where a functional and consistent connection with stainless steel hardware is sought.
• Identifiable spare part: the Osculati code 01.080.10 facilitates product identification during reordering or replacement.

Usage and notes for selection

Dimensional compatibility check

Before purchase or installation, it is advisable to verify that the size 10 mm and the available dimensions (A, B, D, L1) are consistent with:

• the chain or accessory to which the shackle will be connected;
• the dimensions of the bow roller and the anchor's return path;
• the geometry of the anchor and the attachment point.

Installation and maintenance

As with all anchoring hardware, it is good practice to perform periodic checks of the connection (general condition, any signs of wear or deformation, smoothness of the anchor group on the bow roller). In case of replacement, maintaining consistency between components (materials and sizes) helps preserve a neat and functional installation.
