Usage and operational notes

Installation and pairings

Before installation, verify that the size 6 mm is consistent with the elements to be connected and with the clearances of the bow roller. A correct match reduces friction and interference and helps keep the maneuver smoother.

Periodic checks

In nautical contexts, it is good practice to periodically check the condition of the hardware: presence of wear marks, deformations, or blockages due to dirt and deposits. Regular cleaning and visual inspection help keep the component efficient over time.

Spare parts and identification

For replacements or additions, refer to the code 01.080.06 and the description “stainless steel shackle 6 mm”. This facilitates alignment with the Osculati range and reduces the risk of purchasing a non-matching component.

In summary

A shackle in AISI 316 stainless steel in size 6 mm, designed for onboard applications and particularly useful in the anchoring context, where it can facilitate the insertion of the anchor into the bow roller without jamming.
