4. Usage and Applications

These tie-down eyelets provide versatile attachment points for various accessories on your watercraft. They are commonly used for:

• Securing fishing gear such as plier lanyards and fishing nets.
• Attaching paddle leashes to prevent loss.
• Creating anchor points for bungee cords or ropes to hold coolers, dry bags, or other equipment.
• Customizing your kayak, boat, or canoe with additional tie-down options.

The inner diameter of the eyelet is 0.63 inches, accommodating most standard bungee cords and ropes.

5. Maintenance

The 316 stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. To ensure longevity and optimal performance, especially after use in saltwater, it is recommended to:

• Rinse the eyelets with fresh water.
• Inspect for any signs of wear or damage periodically.
• Ensure the threaded connections remain clean and free of debris.

6. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Eyelet does not fit into the track system.
  Solution: Verify the dimensions of your track system against the eyelet's nut plate dimensions (1.13" x 1/2"). Some track systems may have slightly different specifications. Ensure the square nut is correctly oriented before attempting to slide it into the track.
• Issue: Eyelet feels loose after tightening.
  Solution: Ensure the square track nut is fully engaged within the track and the eyelet is tightened securely by hand. The free lock washer is designed to help prevent loosening, but overtightening is not necessary.
• Issue: Missing components in the package.
  Solution: If any parts are missing from your 4-pack, please contact VTurboWay customer support for assistance.
