Description
Overview
The Thimble Galvanised 10 mm (Part No. RWB0319C) is a hot dipped galvanised steel thimble that forms and protects a hard eye in 10 mm wire rope. It supports the rope bend radius, reduces abrasion at the eye, and helps maintain splice integrity. Because it uses galvanised steel, it resists corrosion in coastal conditions and therefore delivers dependable service for boats and trailers.
Features
- Hot dipped galvanised coating provides reliable protection against rust
- Formed steel profile guides rope curvature and prevents kinking
- Sized precisely for 10 mm wire rope, which ensures a correct seating in the groove
- Compact and economical, making it a practical choice for everyday rigging

Compatibility and Fitment
When paired with 10 mm wire rope, the thimble provides a snug fit and prevents abrasion. To install it, form a hard eye and then secure the rope with rated clips or ferrules. In addition, always check that the thimble aligns with the load path so the rope does not twist or pinch.
Compliance and Safety
Follow safe rigging practices at all times. Inspect the thimble, the rope, and the clips before each use. Replace any component that shows cracks, flattening, or red rust. Never use this product to lift people. As a result, you can maintain both safety and compliance with standard marine rigging practice.
Marine Applications
Because of its protective galvanised coating, this thimble works well in marine and trailer environments. It is often applied in mooring bridles, safety lines, general boat rigging, and winch cable terminations. For example, many small boat owners use it to create durable eyes in mooring lines without the need for complex splicing.
