| Size | Inner Diameter | Application |
|---|---|---|
| 5 cm | approx. 25 mm | Small boats, inflatables, accessories |

| 8 cm | approx. 45 mm | Large motorboats, sailing yachts |
Where to Install Deck Eyes
Bow-mounted deck eyes are used for mooring to a buoy or jetty. Stern deck eyes take stern lines. Side deck eyes are ideal for fenders. On sailing yachts, deck eyes can also serve as attachment points for safety lines and jackstays.
Load Capacity and Backing Plates
A practical rule of thumb is a minimum safe working load of 50 kg per deck eye. For higher loads, use backing plates to distribute the force across the deck panel. Seal all bolt holes with marine-grade sealant to prevent water ingress.
