Kayak mounting
Need some advice since my expertise is software not construction.
I'm creating a pulley lift to store my kayak in the garage. I have added 2x4s using lag screws between the joists and rafters for added support. I then bolted on eye bolts 3/8" x 8". When I tested lifting 50 lbs the bolt was bending more than I expected. So I got some 1/2" x 6" eye bolts and noticed the warning: not for overhead loads. But it is rated for 300lbs. I have two sets for each end of the yak so weight should not be an issue. Does this sound like a good set up?
