Primary Use & Compatibility

  • #10 Hardware Variant
    Ideal for use with EXR5741 and other accessories utilizing #10 size mounting holes.
  • 1/4" Hardware Variant

  • M8 Hardware Variant
    Designed for select EXR accessories such as
  • EXR5181 Kayak Basket, EXR9611 Heavy-Duty Awning Brackets, and many  other aftermarket gear platforms.

Selecting the correct hardware variant ensures optimal clamping force and long-term durability.
