FAQs
Is the mounting hardware included?
No, the strap does not come with screws or bolts.
Can this be used on a wooden dock?
Yes, provided you use appropriate wood screws that fit the 6mm mounting holes and the wood is structurally sound.
What size rope can fit through the eye?
The eye has an internal size of approximately 24mm, allowing for most standard docking and sheet lines.
Will this rust in saltwater?
Being marine-grade stainless steel, it is highly resistant to rust, but regular freshwater rinsing is recommended for long-term protection.
What is the diameter of the mounting holes?
The mounting hole internal diameter is 6mm.
Can I use this for lifting heavy weights?
This product is designed for securing sheets, lines, and fenders; it is not rated for heavy-duty overhead lifting.
Troubleshooting
Visible orange staining on the metal
This is likely surface tea-staining from salt exposure; use a stainless steel cleaner or a mild abrasive pad to polish the surface back to its original finish.
Movement or rattling of the strap after installation
Check that the mounting screws are tightened to the correct torque and ensure that a backing plate is used if the mounting surface is thin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, mark the desired location on your deck or bulkhead, ensuring the surface is level and structurally sound. Use a 6mm drill bit for the mounting holes. For installations on aluminum or fiberglass surfaces, it is highly recommended to use a marine-grade sealant (like 5200 or 4200) under the strap base to prevent water ingress and electrolysis.
Regular maintenance involves rinsing the strap with fresh water after exposure to salt spray to prevent surface tea-staining. Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness, as vibration from the motor or rough sea conditions can cause hardware to loosen over time.
