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.
