The Ronstan RF1057 Saddle with Eye (13mm Clearance) is a versatile marine-grade stainless steel deck fitting designed to guide, secure, and manage rope, wire, hose, or cable systems on boats. Featuring a central ferrule eye, it provides an additional attachment point for tie-offs, bungee cords, or control lines—making it far more functional than a standard saddle.

With a 13mm internal clearance, this fitting is ideal for medium-size marine rope, electrical conduit, or hose routing. Its low-profile, polished design ensures minimal snagging while maintaining a clean, professional deck finish.

Manufactured from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, the RF1057 offers excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and wear—ensuring long-term durability in New Zealand’s harsh saltwater conditions.

Commonly used across yachts, dinghies, and powerboats, it is ideal for both rigging and general onboard applications where strength, reliability, and versatility are required.
