Shackle for 12mm anchors – code: 01.080.12 – Osculati

12 mm Osculati anchor shackle (code 01.080.12)

The 12 mm anchor shackle Osculati, code 01.080.12, is a nautical hardware component designed for connecting the anchor to the chain or bow accessories. Made of AISI 316 stainless steel, it is suitable for use in marine environments and for installations requiring hardware that is durable and suitable for routine anchor maintenance.

Its function is also practical during recovery and stowage: the geometry is designed to allowing the anchor to fit into the bow rollers without getting stuck, helping to make the passage of the anchor in the bow area smoother during maneuvers.

Features and construction details

Material

The shackle is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, a typical choice for nautical hardware due to its suitability for use in humid and salty conditions. This makes it suitable for installations on boats and onboard applications where operational continuity and ease of cleaning are important aspects.

Specific function for anchoring

This model is designed for use with the anchor and for interfacing with bow components. In particular, it facilitates the insertion of the anchor into the bow roller reducing the tendency to snag or jam during retrieval. This is a useful detail when a connection that properly guides the anchor into its seat is desired.

Dimensions (12 mm version)

The sheet refers to version 12 mm. For this configuration, the following measurements are provided:

• A: 12 mm
• B: 24 mm
• D: 24 mm
• L1: 48 mm

Product identification

• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 01.080.12

Typical onboard applications

The anchor shackle is a central element in the anchoring line and is used in various operational and fitting situations:

• Anchor–chain connection in anchoring systems on pleasure boats and work units.
• Bow roller installations where it is important that the anchor fits neatly into its seat.
• Maintenance and replacement of worn or no longer smooth components, to restore a clean and functional connection.
• Fittings and refitting when updating the bow hardware with AISI 316 stainless steel components.

Operational advantages

Smoothness in retrieval maneuvers

The distinctive feature of this shackle is the attention to the anchor's behavior near the bow roller: it helps the anchor to slide in without jamming. In practice, it can help reduce manual interventions at the bow during retrieval, especially when a smoother return to the seat is desired.

AISI 316 stainless steel hardware for marine environment

The use of AISI 316 is an advantage for those seeking hardware consistent with nautical use. It is a common choice for exposed components, aiming to maintain a good level of reliability over time and easy management of routine cleaning.

Size suitable for integration into existing systems

The declared dimensions for the 12 mm version allow quick assessment of fitting into your system (anchor, chain, bow roller). This helps reduce uncertainties during selection and align the purchase with the needs of the onboard system.

Usage and installation notes

Check clearances and fittings

Before installation, it is advisable to check:

• the dimensional compatibility with the bow roller (passages, clearances, and space);
• the coupling with the’ancora and with the chain already installed;
• so that the shackle operates without interference during anchor retrieval.

Routine maintenance

In a marine environment, it is good practice to perform periodic checks of the anchoring hardware. Even without specific procedures, a visual inspection and regular cleaning help keep the component in proper condition and identify any anomalies caused by use early.
