Barton Marine High Load Eye 16mm Bore [60452]

The Barton Marine High Load Eye with a 16mm bore is ergonomically crafted to boost strength and efficiency. Featuring HV500 hard anodizing and curved surfaces, it minimizes friction. With an outstanding strength - to - weight ratio, it's perfect for kickers, tweakers, genoa barber haulers, and other places where saving weight and high strength matter. The HV500 hard anodizing offers great low - friction performance. After over 300 hours on an abrasion test machine, there's no visible wear on the anodized coating. Compared to a standard plain bearing block, it has a high load capacity. Across the range, friction increases only by 15%, strength goes up by 272%, and weight is reduced by 51% (data based on using 4mm D12 SK75 Dyneema core). Available in six sizes, made from marine - grade aluminium with a hard anodized finish. It suits various on - board uses like lazy jacks, barber haulers, mast base tidies, and stanchion lead eyes. The smallest size attaches with a 3mm line and has a 6mm bullseye diameter, while the largest uses a 16mm line and has a 28mm bullseye diameter. Quick Guide (pdf).

Using your Barton Marine High Load Eye is easy. First, pick the right size for your needs. The smallest size can be attached with a 3mm line and the largest with a 16mm line. You can use it for many things on your boat, such as lazy jacks or barber haulers. When attaching, make sure the line is properly secured through the bullseye. As for maintenance, keep it clean by washing it with fresh water after each use, especially if it's been in saltwater. Check the anodized coating regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to get it inspected. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid using it with rough or sharp objects that could scratch the anodized surface and reduce its wear - resistance.
