Stainless steel and corrosion resistant, they're built to shrug off spray, rain, and sun. Each one measures 2 inches, and they ship as a set of 2, enough to anchor both sides of a strap run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese T-H Marine pad eye tie-down mounts handle one of those small jobs that makes a real difference out on the water. Your bimini top holds its shape because the straps running down to the deck keep it tensioned. Those straps need something solid to hook onto, and that's exactly what these are. Each one is a stainless steel eye strap, a low loop you screw down to give a strap, a line, or a snap hook a permanent home. You get a set of 2 in the package, which is usually what you need to anchor both forward straps or both aft straps on a single top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is the part that matters most here. Stainless steel and corrosion resistant, these mounts are made to live outside and get wet. Bimini hardware takes a beating. It sits in the sun all season, gets doused with spray, rinsed with rain, and on a saltwater boat it deals with salt film that eats cheaper metal alive. A rusted, seized tie-down point is a headache you don't want when you're trying to drop or raise the top in a hurry. Stainless shrugs off that abuse and keeps looking clean year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward, and it's the kind of job most owners can knock out in an afternoon. Pick your spots on the deck, gunwale, or the flat of the transom where the strap wants to pull straight. Hold the mount in place, mark your holes, and screw it down. Here's the tip that separates a job that lasts from one that leaks: bed each fastener in a dab of marine sealant before you drive it home. That keeps water out of the deck core and stops the screw from weeping into the laminate. On a cored deck that one step is the difference between dry glass and a soft spot down the road. Snug the fasteners down firm, wipe the squeeze-out, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2 inches, these are sized for standard bimini strap ends and common snap hooks, and the open eye gives a hook or a line plenty of room to seat. Because they're a plain, honest eye strap, they're not locked to bimini duty either. Folks use them to tie down cockpit covers, lash a cooler or a fuel can, rig kayak deck gear, secure a battery box, or add an anchor point for gear that likes to slide around underway. Anywhere you need a clean, fixed loop to clip or lash to, one of these works. The set of 2 means you can do a pair of points at once, or split them across two small projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes so there are no surprises. These ship as the mounts only, so plan on picking up stainless mounting screws to match your deck thickness, plus a tube of marine sealant if you don't already have one on the shelf. And while stainless is tough, it still appreciates a rinse with fresh water after a salty day, same as the rest of your deck hardware. Do that and these little mounts will outlast a lot of the boat around them. For a low-cost part that quietly holds your shade in place trip after trip, it's hard to go wrong with a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT-H Marine has been building boat rigging and deck hardware for a long time, and their catalog runs deep across mounts, hatches, plumbing fittings, and the small parts that keep a rig tight. That matters for a piece like this, because a tie-down point is only as good as the metal it's made from and the way it holds a fastener. You're trusting it to keep your top tensioned in a chop and to not let go when the wind gets under the canvas. A quality stainless eye strap earns that trust and then fades into the background, which is exactly what you want from deck hardware. Keep a set in your rigging kit and you'll always have a fix for a broken or missing anchor point when one turns up mid-season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in fresh and salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant finish holds up to spray, rain, and season-long UV exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch length sized for standard bimini top strap ends and common snap hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen eye strap design accepts strap hooks, snap hooks, or lashing line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a set of 2, enough to anchor both straps on one side of a top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew-down pad mount installs on deck, gunwale, or transom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoubles as a general-purpose tie-down for covers, coolers, kayaks, and gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-H Marine marine-grade deck hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized T-H Marine Supplies reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat comes in the set?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe package includes 2 pad tie-down mounts.
