When using the Eyebolts for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars, part # RRREB, you will need to use caution when securing your canoe.
I called my contact at Rhino-Rack and they told me they have the strongest crossbars on the market and you should not be concerned about damaging them when ratcheting the canoe down. My recommendation is to tighten the canoe straps enough to hold the canoe in place and then to be sure to secure it by adding the bow and stern straps to make sure the canoe stays on the roof rack.
