Recommended Clevis Hook for a Winch and Safety Chains
Question:
would this work for a cable boat winch to connect to boat bow eye? and would it work for safety chain to boat bow eye? the bow eye is 1/2inch diameter. im looking for two hooks to attach the cable and safety chain to the bow eye. my winch is rated for 2000 lbs the safety chain is 1/4inch 1300lbs capacity.

I do have options for you but the Curt S-Hook with Wire Keeper part # C81820 is not going to be the best solution for your winch's cable/strap or safety chains. Instead, for the winch I recommend using a clevis hook like part # 6495-401-04 and for the safety chains I recommend using a clevis hook like part # 6495-301-04. The clevis hooks are a much better design for both your winch's cable/strap and safety chains.
I have attached a review video of each clevis hook for you as well.
