Product catalog summary
Overview: Tylaska Marine Hardware specializes in high-strength, durable marine hardware, particularly trigger release snap shackles, made from aerospace-grade 17-4PH stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
Specifications: The shackles feature a two-piece flanged pin design to resist shear and cracking, a solid 316 stainless pivot pin for longevity, and an extra-long stroke 316 stainless spring to prevent corrosion. The patented release mechanism allows easy opening under load while remaining securely locked until released.
Product Variants: Tylaska offers several shackle types, including Standard Bails (SB), Large Bails (LB), and Clevis Bails (CB), each designed for specific applications such as halyards, spinnaker sheets, and multi-line uses. Each shackle is pull-tested under various load conditions before shipping.
Performance and Applications: The shackles are available in different sizes and strengths, suitable for boats ranging from 20 to over 100 feet. For example, the T5 model is ideal for 20-30’ boats with a breaking strength of 5,000 lbs, while the T50 model is designed for 100’+ maxi boats with a breaking strength of 50,000 lbs.
Design and Engineering: Tylaska shackles are meticulously designed using finite element CAD software, optimized for strength-to-weight ratios. The unique mathematical curvature of the release mechanism ensures ease of use even under heavy loads.
Patents and Innovations: Tylaska holds several patents for their innovative designs, including the unique trigger mechanism that allows one-handed operation and reinforced components for added strength and reduced wear.
Conclusion: Tylaska Marine Hardware provides high-quality, durable shackles that meet near-military specifications, offering sailors reliable performance and longevity in demanding marine environments.

The new Tylaska LP series pull pin shackle is Tylaska’s solution to the age old problem of pull-pin shackles that flog open. Tylaska’s patented design integrates a simple locking mechanism that allows the pull-pin to be secured captive. Once the shackle is attached, the pull pin can be twisted a half turn and locked in place so that it doesn’t open from snagging or flogging. The LP shackle has the same basic profile and size as other existing pull-pin shackles to allow for direct replacement. The LP 12 is the first in a line of subsequent locking pull pin shackles of larger and smaller dimensions...
