Enhance your vessel’s performance with our High Load Eye 16mm Bore, meticulously engineered for maximum strength and efficiency. Crafted from marine-grade aluminium with HV500 hard anodizing, these high load eyes offer unparalleled durability and reduced friction, making them the perfect choice for various boating applications where weight and strength are critical.
Superior Strength and Efficiency
Our High Load Eye is ergonomically designed with curved surface profiles to minimize friction and optimize performance. The HV500 hard anodized finish ensures a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for lightweight installations without compromising on durability. This makes them ideal for use as kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, and other rigging components where both weight savings and robust strength are essential.
Exceptional Wear Resistance
The HV500 hard anodized coating provides outstanding low friction properties. In rigorous testing, including over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, the anodized coating exhibited no visible signs of wear, ensuring long-lasting performance even under demanding marine conditions.
