Harken 43.43mm Forged Eyestrap

Harken 43.43mm Forged Eyestrap

The Harken 43.43mm Forged Eyestrap (Part No. 2134F) is a compact and highly versatile marine hardware fitting engineered for reliable performance across a wide range of applications on sailboats, sportfishing vessels, and other watercraft. Its forged construction ensures superior strength and durability relative to its small size, making it an essential accessory for sailors and anglers alike.

Eyestraps serve multiple functions aboard a vessel. They provide light-duty mounting bases for blocks and pulleys, act as secure lash-down points for gear and equipment, and can be used as fairleads for routing lines and cables cleanly along the deck. The 43.43mm internal dimension makes this fitting suitable for a broad array of hardware pairings.

With a substantial breaking load of 1,588 kg (3,500 lb), this eyestrap offers reliable holding strength despite its lightweight profile of just 16.3 g (0.58 oz). It accepts standard 6 mm (1/4 in) round-head fasteners, making installation straightforward on most deck surfaces. Dimensional specifications are clearly defined — an overall length (A) of 56 mm, internal width (C) of 43 mm, and a compact footprint that minimizes deck intrusion.

Harken engineering drawings and 3D models are available for download, facilitating integration into custom rigging or deck layout plans. The eyestrap is listed under both Harken's Complementary Hardware and Sportfishing categories, reflecting its cross-application suitability.
