Comments about Screw Mounted Tie-Down Kit:
Used on a sit on top kayak where a tie-down broke, which holds my seatback. This was a fast fix, easy to install, and now holds my seat with its attachment clips. So far durable (150 miles tested to this point).

Comments about Screw Mounted Tie-Down Kit:
I just finished putting these on so i havent used them yet. That's the only reason for 4 stars. But they seem fine to me. They aren't flimsy plastic and they seem to be fairly strong.

Q:
Can this be used on a kevlar canoe with aluminum gunwales? If so, would you mount them on the gunwales or through the kevlar material?Asked on 5/8/2013 by Newcanoeowner from Colorado7 answers

A:
I would do the aluminum not the Kevlar. Also I would prefer glue in d rings over the product you selected. Hope this helps.

A:
If you want to mount directly to the kevlar, I would recommend using rivets instead of the supplied screws.
But I would try to mount them to the gunwales using either the screws or using rivets.
Given the profile of the gunwales on my canoe, I attached wood strips that I screwed the hardware to.Answered on 5/9/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

predrill holes with the perfect diameter drill so that the screws thread into the aluminum....Answered on 5/9/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I suppose you could rivet them to the hull, but I wouldn't start drilling holes in my kevlar. I would use stainless sheet metal screws to mount them to the gunwales.Answered on 5/9/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
It depends on how handy you are and how much of an inner lip the gunwales give you. I'd mount them on the underside of the gunwales if possible. Aluminum isn't that hard to drill. Get out your drill, put an appropriate size bit in it and, without plugging it in, see if you can put the bit tip on a part of the underside of the gunwale. If the lip doesn't protrude into the canoe very much, you won't be able to do it. I do have a friend would instead put these on the part of the gunwale that faces the opposite gunwale. It looked a little funny, but worked.
BTW, I'm assuming your gunwales are hollow and have room to absorb the sharp part of the screw. You want to be sure to drill a hole that is smaller in diameter than the screw. (Hope I'm not insulting your intelligence here--just want to make sure I've covered the bases.)
I would not screw into Kevlar. It's not thick or strong enough for fasteners.Answered on 5/8/2013 by Anonymous

Q:
I take it you don't need nuts or inside boat access? Just use screws with epoxy or silicone?Asked on 5/6/2013 by Isaac the pygmy builder from Lubec me4 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
The screws may work on plastic hulls, but on my fiberglass hull, I bought brass machine screws with nuts and washers. I did use silicone and did need behind the deck access.

A:
If the load is going to be light, such as light stuff on the deck, you
should be ok. If there is any load you'd want a backing plate of treated
plywood and possible through bolts.Answered on 5/6/2013 by Anonymous
A:
Correct, Isaac. Here are he installation instructions - http://www.nrsweb.com/repair/tiedown_kit.aspAnswered on 5/6/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Correct. I drilled pilot holes first, then applied epoxy to the freshly
drilled holes for it to soak into the grain and then installed the clips
with screws the next day. Two years have passed and I have had no problems.Answered on 5/6/2013 by Anonymous
