This is a dead-end mount for a Thistle vang. It is machined from HDPE (high density polyethylene) and mounts inside at the bow. There are milled cavities for the stainless eye strap nuts so that the bottom is flat.

High-strength Permatex threadlocker is used on the nuts, and the four counter-sunk holes are sunk deep to ensure ease of use.

Kits for the Super Max contain the External mounting rubber gaskets, internal rubber gaskets and rivets for reassembly. Bailer girds are available and keep lines from getting sucked into the bailer. Grids are not included as part of the Service Kits.

A unique, hard-to-find, pivoting cleat that allows the line to run freely until it is pulled out of alignment. Frequently used for spinnaker halyard pump-up systems. The halyard exits the mast, goes through a cam cleat and usually a fairlead. Then there is some space before the halyard runs through the pump cleat. On the line in this space there is a trap handle on a block, which you hold to pump. The tail of the halyard then continues through a fairlead or cheek block and is taken up by shock cord. As you pump the handle, the pump-cleat goes out of alignment holding the tail and causing the halyard to take up through the cam cleat. As you lower the handle, the pump cleat aligns again allowing the shock cord to take up the tail through the pump cleat, readying the system for another pump if needed.

Designed for use with 5/32 inch line.

Mounts on vertical surfaces. Line feeds up through tube and over a sheave to swiveling cleat base. Cleat mounting holes are 38 mm (1 1/2") apart on centers which fits Harken and Ronstan medium cam cleats. Mounting holes for the unit itself are in a rectangle 19mm (3/4") x 38 mm (1 1/2"), based on centers, and uses 5 mm (3/16") fasteners.

The rebuild kit comes with everything you need to make your tired old swivel as good as new for a fraction of the cost. Replacement parts are also sold separately.
