: CLC uses shear clamps to attach their cambered decks to the sides
: of the kayak. The shear camp provides enough wood under the deck
: to use wood screws to attach their surface mounted pad eyes.

: I think Vaclav tapes all of the seams on the Cirrus so through
: bolting with nuts and washers may be necessary (and seal the
: wood on the hole sides with epoxy) but through bolting is not
: going to work for you. Duane Strosaker uses fairleads on his
: Point Bennetts.

: But again through bolting won’t work
: You can make your own glue-on fairleads. You should sand throught
: the varnish for epoxy adheasion.

: My kayak has soft pad eyes that also require under deck
: installation. Soft pad eyes were promoted by Joe Greenley at
: Redfish Kayaks.
