The Wichard Folding Pad Eye (6604) is a premium marine-grade stainless steel attachment point designed for strength, safety, and a clean deck profile. Featuring a folding design, this pad eye lies flat when not in use, reducing trip hazards and preventing line snags on deck.
Manufactured from high-quality 316L stainless steel, this Wichard pad eye offers excellent resistance to corrosion in harsh marine environments. With a 15/64-inch diameter, it provides a strong and reliable tie-down point for lifelines, jacklines, tethers, and deck hardware on sailboats and powerboats.
Ideal for high-load marine applications, Wichard folding pad eyes are trusted by professionals and performance-oriented boaters worldwide.
Exceptional Strength: Offers a massive 2,510 lb working load and 6,610 lb breaking load, ensuring safety for critical applications like lifelines or harness points.
Dual Material Construction: The base is crafted from 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, while the bail is made from 17.4 pH stainless steel for maximum mechanical strength.
Noise Reduction: The silicon underlay protects the deck surface and prevents unpleasant metal-on-metal noise during heavy seas.
ISO 15085 Compliant: This model is certified for use as a man-overboard prevention and recovery hooking point on small craft.

1 x 6 mm Folding Pad Eye (Assembled with Silicon Pad).
Note: Fasteners (screws/bolts) are typically not included. This model requires 1/4" (6 mm) countersunk fasteners for installation.
Fastener Choice: Always use high-quality stainless steel bolts with backing plates (like the Wichard SP6504) for structural loads to prevent the hardware from pulling through the deck.
Sealing: Even with the silicon pad, it is best practice to use a marine-grade sealant (like 3M 5200 or 4000UV) around the bolt holes to ensure a 100% watertight seal.
