I installed my eye strap and small block with two SS tapped screws to the underside of the aluminum spreader. I did not want to drill one larger hole through the entire spreader tip and bottom. We have a flag off of one and our Davis radar reflector off of the other one. Plenty of capacity without placing an eyebolt through the spreader top and bottom.

> I have burgee halyard installed on each lower spreader. I use one for a courtesy flag and the other for a radar reflector. One burgee halyard came with the boat from the factory, the other I installed. Both with eye straps tapped and screwed into the underside of the lower spreader with small blocks integrally attached to the eye strap. I used ss screws tapped into the underside of the lower aluminum spreader. I coated the threads with Lanocote to help prevent eletrolosis between the ss screws and the tapped holes in the aluminum spreader. I also used nonconductive nylon washers between the eyestrap and the aluminum spreader. The factory installed eyestrap and block are attached to the spreader with ss rivets.
