Four Hole Transom Pintle with 8mm Pin.

A pintle is a critical component used on a sailboat?s rudder system. It is a pin or rod that attaches the rudder to the boat?s stern, allowing the rudder to pivot and steer the boat. The pintle works in conjunction with a corresponding fitting called a gudgeon, which is a socket that the pintle fits into.

The Allen four-hole transom pintle is crafted from marine-grade aluminium and stainless steel. It?s been built to withstand the harsh marine environment, offering superior resistance to corrosion and wear.

Perfect Fit: Available in various pin sizes to match your specific rudder and gudgeon setup, providing a secure and stable connection.

Versatile Use: Ideal for small to medium-sized sailboats, dinghies, and other watercraft requiring a dependable rudder pintle.

Safety Hole: The pintle pin has a cross hole drilled into it so that an R-clip can be used to secure the rudder in place. Reducing the risk of losing a rudder during a capsize.
