Various versions

The various types consist of a number of individual components that can be combined in various ways:

• Type of eye bolt: brass or stainless steel
• Type of bow nut or butterfly nut: brass or stainless steel
• We advise against using brass components (eye bolts, bow nuts or butterfly nuts) on an aluminium hatch. This can lead to problems, especially in a saltwater environment. Because of the large voltage difference between brass and aluminium, galvanic corrosion can occur.
• Brass and stainless-steel parts can be combined. It is also possible to choose both a brass eye bolt and a brass nut or a stainless-steel clamp bolt and a stainless-steel nut. In order to prevent the thread from eroding, a brass butterfly nut or bow nut is often chosen in combination with a stainless-steel eye bolt.
• The separate components can also be put together entirely as you wish.

 
Stainless-steel components are always quality stainless steel 316 (stainless-steel plate material and profiles) or A4 (bolts and nuts).

Most components can also be supplied separately.
