The Ronstan RF499 Saddle with Eye 8mm is a compact, multi-functional marine-grade stainless steel guide saddle designed for routing small-diameter rope, wire, hose, or electrical cables on yachts, dinghies, and powerboats. With an 8mm clearance and an integrated central lashing eye, this fitting is ideal for precision rigging and deck organisation, particularly where space is limited.
