Eliminate the struggle of connecting safety chains to deep, recessed, or hard-to-reach tow points. The Snap-D 10mm Long D-Shackle delivers an extended 84mm body reach paired with Snap-D’s patented captive-pin mechanism, making it the ideal problem solver for tight tow hitch pockets, boat bow eyes, and jet ski setups.
Engineered from marine-grade 304 stainless steel, this shackle completely removes the hassle of seized screw pins, cross-threading, and lost hardware in the sand or water. Featuring a captive, spring-loaded pin, connection and release take just half a turn—giving you a secure, road-legal, and rust-free towing lock in seconds.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Extended 84mm Reach: The lengthened D-profile provides essential extra clearance to easily reach recessed tow points, high-clearance hitches, and deep attachment eyes where standard shackles bind or fall short.
-
Patented Half-Turn Operation: No tedious threads to twist or tools required. Simply push the pin in, give it a half turn, and it locks into place with a positive mechanical snap.
-
Captive Pin System: The locking pin stays securely retained in the shackle body even when opened, ensuring you will never drop a pin in the boat ramp mud or lose hardware on the roadside.
-
Marine-Grade 304 Stainless Steel: Precision-crafted with a stainless steel internal spring for long-term corrosion resistance against salt water, grime, and road grit.
-
Road & Transport Compliant: Clearly stamped with its load rating on the shackle leg, fully compliant with Australian Towing Standards (AS 4177) and NZ standards for trailers up to 1600kg ATM.
Ideal Applications
-
Jet ski trailers and personal watercraft (PWC) bow connection loops
-
Small boat trailers, tinnies, and dinghies (bow eye and safety chain hookups)
-
Modern tow bars with recessed safety chain attachment points
-
Single-axle box trailers, camper trailers, and tradie trailers up to 1600kg ATM
