Care and best practices
Rinse shackles with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, then dry thoroughly to minimize corrosion risk. Inspect the pin and body for any signs of wear, deformation, or corrosion before each use, and replace if any irregularities are found. Store in a dry area away from harsh chemicals to preserve the galvanized coating.
