Its 2 ½ inch size fits
comfortably in your hand with easy access to the locking lever
for a safe and convenient one handed operation.
HAL-LOCK eliminates the
need to tie the outrigger halyards together with rubber bands or
wire, or using a sliding swivel arrangement. While these methods
may temporarily solve the problem, they are time consuming and
unsafe. I think most would agree that reaching out over the side
of the boat with both hands tying halyards together is not the
safest place to be in rough seas. And, there are more
important things to do than waste time tying and untying
halyards together.
The HAL-LOCK outrigger
pulley was specially designed for speed and efficiency (and it
looks good too). Simply pull the locking lever back and the
halyard is pushed into the softer urethane insert locking the
halyard in place. That Easy! That Fast!, and because of
HAL-LOCK’s unique ability to lock, very little tension is
required on the shock cord, allowing you to get your clip up and
back down with less effort.
Halyard material used with
HAL-LOCK should be .080 ± .005 inch mono, 2mm mono or 3/32-1/8
inch braided cord (cord size may vary by type and manufacturer).
Rigging your HAL-LOCK is very similar to
rigging a
plain pulley or glass ring with a few exceptions.
- Use proper size halyard material.
