About Eye Hardware

Marine Eye Hardware

What is a sailboat's lifeline?

When it comes to boat anatomy power boaters and sail boaters note a few differences. Boat railing for instance, on a sailboat this is called a lifeline for good reason - when a sailboat heels over-under speed the lifeline is an important barrier between you and the water. Defender Marine has complete lifeline and safety rail systems as well as an extensive variety of parts like tensioners, sleeves, and ends.

What is my breakload?

Marine eye hardware that is placed under pressure is rated as to its breaking point. Breakload can also be rated for rope, wire, and chain. Defender's eye straps are rated up to 3500 pound breakload while the fixed and folding padeye hardware is rated up to 8500 pounds; breakload depends on the size of the hardware and the type of material it was forged from.

An eye bolt makes towing easier.

Elevating your tow rope through an eye bolt can keep it from catching up in the prop the first time you lose your skier. Defender Marine's eye bolts are available in a variety of lengths for just about any application.
